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.

Ways You Can Celebrate Libraries This Week:

  1. Check out some of the awesome resources the DSLCC Library offers: Ask a Librarian to answer any of your library- and research-related questions, databases to help you find resources for your research projects, OverDrive to browse and check out awesome audiobooks, and Films on Demand and Feature Films for Education to watch videos and movies for free. Remember, if you have any questions about any of these or need assistance, feel free to contact us at any time!
  2. Post about us on social media and use the hashtag #ThankYouLibraries. Post a picture of a book you checked out (pre-social distancing, of course) or maybe a photo of you doing your schoolwork while using some of our great resources. Be sure to tag the college so we can see!
