April Celebrations at the Library: Join Us for National Library Week, Poetry Day, Awards, and Earth Day!

 

April is “everything” month as we fondly call it in the Library. It's a month packed with various celebrations and events,  including National Poetry Month, National Jazz Month, National Library Week, Earth Day, and many more awareness and appreciation days.

Here’s what we have in store for you:
