    Really enjoyed this thread of people talking about their local libraries and listing things they offer to their communities.

    And even though today's the last day of the National Library Week, let's celebrate, and support, libraries every day, all year around!

  15. April is School Library Month and this week is National Library Week! Librarians are some of our favorite people. Thank you for the incredible contributions you make to our schools and communities. 💝

    It's a great time to watch The Neighborhood Storyteller. This short documentary follows Asmaa Rashed, a young Syrian mother and refugee, as she establishes vibrant reading circles, transforming a humble act into a powerful tool for social change. The film celebrates the importance of reading and sharing stories to find one’s voice.

    Our Discussion Guide for this film also connects with "Muzoon: A Syrian Refugee Speaks Out" by Muzoon Al-Mellehanan with Wendy Pearlman, for an exciting film-book teaching combination.

  17. Free Day at #MaineStateParks for #LibraryCard Holders on April 25, 2026

    April 14, 2026

    Augusta, Maine - "April 19-25, 2026 is #NationalLibraryWeek, and thanks to a proclamation by Governor #JanetMills, it is also officially #MaineLibraryMonth. To mark the occasion, the #MaineStateLibrary and Maine State Parks are partnering to offer a special day of free admission to participating state parks.

    "On Saturday, April 25, simply show your Maine library card at the entrance of any participating Maine state park and enjoy a day outdoors at no cost.

    " 'This collaboration is a perfect way to highlight the value of libraries and the exceptional outdoor values of Maine's State Parks,' said Andy Cutko, #MaineDACF Bureau of Parks and Lands Director. 'Libraries open your mind to the world of literature, and on April 25, your library card is also a ticket to the #outdoors.'

    " 'Maine State Library is delighted to partner with Maine State Parks for Maine Library Month,' said Lori Stockman, Maine State Librarian. 'With spring upon us, providing free admission to many Maine State Parks on April 25th is a natural extension of the types of services and resources that our public libraries provide regularly to their communities.'

    "Visitors are encouraged to bring a favorite book, find a shady spot, and enjoy some quiet reading time surrounded by Maines natural beauty. Whether it's a novel at #CrescentBeachStatePark, poetry under a pine at #LamoineStatePark, or a field guide on a trail atop #BradburyMountainStatePark, the day is a celebration of learning, relaxation, and connection.

    "Don't have a library card yet? Stop by your local library to sign up - its free, and it opens the door to countless opportunities, from books and digital resources to programs and events.

    Find your nearest library. To explore Maine State Parks, including maps and locations, visit parksandlands.com.

    "Free admission applies to day-use at Maine's Maine State Parks and Historic Sites on Saturday, April 25, from 9:00 a.m. until closing.

  29. #NationalLibraryWeek (month, why not?) Day 21/Question of the Month: What does a #specialcollection worker do? We are #students, learners who adapt over time to changes in tech, format, and access needs.

    We never stop learning.

  30. #NationalLibraryWeek (month, why not?) Day 20/Question of the Month: What does a #specialcollection worker do? As a #FirstResponder, folks deal with fire, floods, mold, insects, & building managers who don't understand that #rarebooks are not humans.

  31. #NationalLibraryWeek (month, why not?) Day 19/Question of the Month: What does a #specialcollection worker do? #DigitalAssetManagement, the wrangling of #borndigital content as well as the conversion of legacy collections to a digital format. And #metadata, can't forget that! Go to pacscl.org/what-we-do/for-rese & check out PACSCL's digital assets.

  32. #NationalLibraryWeek (month, why not?) Day 14/Question of the Month: What does a #specialcollection worker do? #Budgeting. Special collections are under attack due to loss of grant funding and possibly institutional support. This is no time to extol our ability to work on a dime. Time, instead, to advocate!

  33. #NationalLibraryWeek (month, why not?) Day 11/Question of the Month: What does a #specialcollection worker do? They manage donors! Folks who give $$, folks who give collections - all with humor, persuasion, & patience!
