Happy National Library Week (April 7-13, 2024)!

By

This year’s theme, “Ready, Set, Library,” resonates with the UWSP Libraries’ mission as a dynamic hub of learning and scholarship that supports opportunities for intellectual exploration and personal growth. 

Sponsored by the American Library Association, National Library Week was first celebrated in 1958 and is now observed each April by libraries of all types across the country.  

 

In addition to exploring our collections and enjoying the vast array of services the Libraries provides, you can help us celebrate National Library Week by feeding Very Hungry College Students.  Bring your items to donate to the Library Circulation area in Collins Classroom Center 130 during our regular hours April 7-13, 2024.


Here are national days of note during National Library Week:  

 

Monday, April 8: Right to Read Day is a national day of action in support of the right to read. The State of America’s Libraries Report is released, including the Top Ten Most Challenged Books of 2023. 

Tuesday, April 9: National Library Workers Day is a day for everyone to recognize the valuable contributions made by library workers.  

Wednesday, April 10: National Library Outreach Day is dedicated to library professionals who are meeting their patrons where they are. 

Thursday, April 11: Take Action for Libraries Day is a day for all library advocates to affirm their participation in 2024 elections.
