National Library Week is sponsored by the American Library Association and was first celebrated in 1958 as a time to celebrate our nation’s libraries, library workers’ contributions and to promote library use and support. The theme for this year’s National Library Week, which is being celebrated between April 23rd and April 29th, is “There’s More to the Story.”

Libraries are full of stories in a variety of formats. But there's so much more to the story.
