The Worcester County Library Foundation, Inc. encourages all community members to visit their library in person or online to explore and access services and programs during National Library Week, April 3-9, 2022. Worcester County Library is your place to be inspired, learn new skills, discover more about your community, and connect with others. The library offers a wide array of programs, classes and resources that are available in person or from the comfort of home, including childhood literacy programs, book clubs, lectures, and technology training.
National Library Week is a time to highlight the essential role libraries, librarians and library workers play in transforming lives and strengthening communities. The theme for this year’s National Library Week is “Connect with Your Library,” which promotes the idea that libraries are places to get connected to technology by using broadband, computers and other resources. Libraries also offer opportunities to connect with media, programs, ideas and classes, in addition to books. Most importantly, libraries also connect communities to each other.
Libraries of all types continue to go above and beyond to keep their communities connected by expanding resources and embracing inclusion in their programming, resources and collections. Libraries across the country are making a difference in people’s lives by providing electronic learning resources like online homework help and wi-fi access for students and workers who may lack internet access at home. Worcester County Library is supporting the community with services such as job search assistance, wi-fi hot spot and laptop lending, genealogy and local history resources, and online language learning courses.
This National Library Week, the public can show their appreciation for libraries by visiting their library in person or online, following them on social media and using the hashtag #NationalLibraryWeek. Community members can also show their support by joining the Worcester County Library Foundation.
First sponsored in 1958, National Library Week is a national observance sponsored by the American Library Association and libraries of all types across the country each April.
