Changing Lives Through the Library

The Liberal Memorial Library will be celebrating National Library Week beginning Monday, April 14.

During the week-long celebration, the Library will be holding several drawings for stuffed animals, chocolate, candy and of course, books!

We’ll also have a jelly-bean counting and coloring contests.

And since this year’s theme is “Lives change @ your library,” let us know how our Library has changed your life. We’d like to know and let others know as well. You can write it down and we’ll post it up on the wall to share with others.

Also, if you’re unfamiliar with the Library, come on down and we’ll be happy to show you around. Just ask a staffer and we’ll be happy to give you a tour of all our services.

During National Library Week and throughout April, libraries host special events to highlight the unique role libraries play in changing people’s lives.

Today’s libraries can help you and your family discover a new and exciting world. Visit your library for computer resources for teens and adults, help with your job search, access to subscription databases, library-recommended websites and homework help.

You also can obtain information about how to become a U.S. citizen, bilingual resources and neutral financial information to help you make important decisions.

Libraries are an oasis if you are looking for adult education classes, or for a recommendation on the best books or e-books to expand your horizons. Open the door to change, visit your library!

First sponsored in 1958, National Library Week is a national observance sponsored by the American Library Association and libraries across the country each April. It is a time to celebrate the contributions of our nation's libraries and librarians and to promote library use and support. All types of libraries - school, public, academic and special - participate.
