National Library Week April 10-16
Celebrate National Library Week at the Evanston Public Library, April 10-16
Libraries are places for new beginnings. Whether you are getting your first library card, learning new computer skills or planning a trip, the library is the place where your story begins. This National Library Week, join our nation’s libraries and librarians and Create your own story @ your library.
The Evanston Public Library is celebrating National Library Week by asking Evanstonians to describe why they love the library – in six words! Residents were asked to to submit a six word story describing what the library means to them. Visit the library April 10-16 to see the stories on one of our screens!
“Every day, libraries across the country are helping people create their own unique stories,” said Evanston Public Library Director Mary Johns. “Whether it is by opening a book and exploring distant lands, or by learning how to use new technologies to find a job, people at our library are creating new stories for themselves.”
First sponsored in 1958, National Library Week is a national observance sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA) and libraries across the country each April.
For more information, visit the Evanston Public Library at 1703 Orrington Ave. or the North Branch at 2026 Central St. or visit the library’s web site at www.epl.org.
