National Library Week, April 19–25, 2026, is a time to celebrate the many ways libraries bring people together, spark imagination, and support lifelong learning. From books and digital resources to job assistance and creative programming, libraries are essential to thriving communities.

¿Qué le proporciona alegría? Independientemente de que sea acomodándose para leer un cuento nuevo, aprendiendo una nueva destreza, reuniéndose con la comunidad o realizando cualquier otra actividad, puede encontrar su alegría en La Biblioteca Pública de Los Ángeles.

La Semana Nacional de las Bibliotecas, del 19 al 25 de abril de 2026, es una ocasión para celebrar las múltiples formas en que las bibliotecas nos unen, estimulan la imaginación y apoyan el aprendizaje a lo largo de la vida. Las bibliotecas, con sus ofertas que abarcan desde libros y recursos digitales, hasta asistencia laboral y programación creativa, son esenciales para que las comunidades prosperen.
