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 at your library.

The Judge George W. Armstrong Library is celebrating National Library Week with a library-themed story time at 10 a.m. morning this week.

Every day, libraries across the country are helping people create their own unique stories.

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 and libraries across the country each April.

Celebrate National Library Week and Create your own story at your library through Saturday.
