National Library Week   (April 3- 9, 2022) is a time to celebrate our nation's libraries, library workers' contributions and promote library use and support.   The theme for National Library Week 2022 is "Connect With Your Library."  During the pandemic, library workers continue to exceed their communities' demands and adapt resources and services to meet their users' needs during these challenging times. Whether people visit in person or virtually, libraries offer endless opportunities to transform lives through education and lifelong learning.  You can celebrate with the UWSP Libraries by uploading a selfie for a Read poster. Read posters will be included in a virtual gallery and shared on social media. Printed copies will be displayed in UWSP Libraries.  To participate, visit https://libraryguides.uwsp.edu/read2022 First sponsored in 1958, National Library Week is sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA) and observed in libraries across the count
