National Library Lover's Month National Library Lover's Month in February is dedicated to the people who love whole buildings devoted to reading, housing, organizing, categorizing, finding, studying, and otherwise loving books. Libraries provide educational entertainment for kids of all ages. Many communities rely on their libraries for meeting space for public forums, socials, fundraisers, and classes. They provide resources for researching family and community heritage. Libraries lend other media like movies and music. They offer digital resources for the entire community to use. Many libraries provide rotating art displays that give local artists exposure to the community, and often go all out to create special events throughout the year. Continue enjoying your library, but consider volunteering your time, too. If you don't have a library card, it's never too late! Visit your library to get one! Show some library love and check out these titles |
