Celebrate Library Lovers Month

National Library Lovers Month is celebrated the entire month of February. This is a time for everyone to recognize the value of libraries in your community, celebrate the way they enrich our lives, and work to ensure that the nation’s libraries will continue to serve the public far into the future.

Top 3 Reasons We Love the Library
1. All ages, races, and socioeconomic levels are welcomed and valued in libraries.

2. In a world that’s constantly busy, public libraries are places to slow down.

3. The journeys you can go on with a library card are truly endless, and they cost you nothing at all.

6 Ways to Support Your Local Library
1. Donating money to your local library is a great way to help keep their doors open. Check with your local library to find out how to donate.

2. Checking out books and resources can make a big difference for your local library as they rely on government funding and private grants to keep their doors open. The more patrons they serve, the better argument they have for funds.

3. Participate in local events put on by the library like story time, after-school programs, author events, and book clubs. Your attendance can support your library and provide you with entertainment and education.

4. Libraries rely on support from volunteers. Check with your local library to see how you can volunteer in your spare time.

5. Public policy and government funding play a huge role in how your public library operates. Contact your local lawmakers and encourage them to fund and support your library or join the American Library Association’s grassroots network to stay up to date on how you can advocate for public libraries across the country.

6. Follow your local library on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram and help promote their events and campaigns. You can even share your great library experiences on social media to encourage your friends to join you.
