Whether you are a job seeker looking for resources to land a new job, a parent looking for free activities for children or a student searching for your next favorite book, you belong @ your library.
Today's libraries help level the playing field by making both print and digital information affordable, available and accessible to all people. Libraries provide cultural heritage and genealogical collections, materials in print and electronic formats, job seeking resources, English as a second language and citizenship classes and many other creative and resourceful programs.
Libraries have historically served as our nation's great equalizers of knowledge. The strength of libraries has always been the diversity of their collections and commitment to serving all people. This National Library Week, join our nation's libraries and librarians by celebrating the place where we all belong.
First sponsored in 1958, National Library Week is a national observance sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA) and libraries across the country each April.
A fan of audiobooks? Stop by Monroeville Public Library this Wednesday from 1:00 - 5:00 p.m. for our Playaway Day. We'll be talking all about Playaways -- pre-programmed mp3 players that make it easier than ever to listen to your favorite audiobooks on the move. Stop in to learn more -- and to help yourselves to some free treats we're giving away in honor of National Library Week!
