Celebrating National Library Week!

It's National Library Week, everyone!

The theme for 2020's Library Week is "Find your place at the library." Of course, this year, we're under stay-at-home orders due to the coronavirus pandemic. So, celebrating all the important things that libraries do is going to be a little different.
