National Library Week 2008
It's National Library Week peoples! What is National Library Week? I'll let the American Library Association tell you, because they've been doing this kind of thing much longer than I have:
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. It is a time to celebrate the contributions of our nation's libraries and librarians and to promote library use and support.
All types of libraries - school, public, academic and special - participate.
More information is available on the National Library Week fact sheet
So go out there and exercise your right to read a book and not have to pay for it. And hug your librarian today. Poor, frazzled little thing probably really needs it.
A big WOO HOO for libraries. I love libraries. I do miss my old library though. Shout out to South Dade Regional. It was big, close to home, and the librarians were nice. My local one now is not that close and not that big. But it does stock the cozy mysteries I love. So WOO HOO again!

You might be tempting Les...
On a positive note, I've been reading a lot this and last week.
Go me! my lib's not doing much about NLW. :-(

Yay library lovers! (And I'm not talking about Les, LOL. You can love your books, just don't *love* your books. ;-)
And Lizzy, I know what you mean about missing your old library. I miss the one by Hammocks Middle myself. Ahhhh, my old stomping grounds. =)
