support. From free access to books and online resources for families to library business centers that

help support entrepreneurship and retraining, libraries offer opportunities for everyone.

National Library Week is a national observance sponsored by the American Library Association

(ALA) and libraries across the country each April. All types of libraries, including school, public,
