National Library Week

National Library Week

by

Join Mercer County Library System as we celebrate National Library Week (NLW) April 19th through April 25th with this year’s theme: Find Your Joy! Consider what brings you joy at the library—whether it’s exciting programs, services and perks the library offers, community connections, or a quiet place to reflect and learn.

Share Your Story!

We invite patrons of all ages to participate and fill out activity sheets available at each branch and for download. Use these sheets to express what brings you joy at the library and turn them in. Branches may showcase your submissions and feature them in displays!

Stay connected throughout the week by following our social media channels, especially in celebration of National Library Workers Day (April 21st), as we highlight the amazing library staff who make MCLS a welcoming place for all.

The card features a colorful illustration of diverse community members of all ages gathering outside a library building beneath a pink banner reading "Find Your Joy!" Below the illustration, a response area with lined space asks, "We'd Love To Know: What brings you JOY at MCLS?" The page contains two identical cards for cutting apart. Logos for the American Library Association and Library Champions appear at the bottom.
