Today is National Library Outreach Day, a day we celebrate libraries and library workers bringing the library to the people!

Connect with your library today and everyday, wherever you find it in your community!

A big shout out to all the library wokers!

It's National Library Workers Day - our favorite day of National Library Week!

Today we celebrate the hardworking, dedicated library professionals who power possibility in our neighborhoods, our schools, and our places of higher learning. As library workers across the U.S. continue to face challenges to their jobs and harassment from bad actors, it's essential we show up for them and voice our support for the work they do every day.

Thank you, library workers - libraries work because YOU do!
