The Monday of #NationalLibraryWeek - 4/24/23 - marks one year since ALA launched #UniteAgainstBookBans. We're calling on readers, advocates, and library lovers to join us in a national day of action. Protect your freedom to read on #RightToReadDay: uniteagainstbookbans.org/right-to-read-…

The theme for National Library Week 2023 is "There's More to the Story," illustrating the fact that in addition to the books in library collections, available in a variety of formats, libraries offer so much more. It's the perfect time to visit your library! #NationalLibraryWeek
