National Library Week | April 3-9

Posted on: April 5, 2022 | Category: Uncategorized

 

This week is National Library Week! It was first sponsored in 1958 by the American Library Association to celebrate our nation’s libraries and the work they do to support our communities.

Your Hawaii Public Library System is dedicated to ensuring that you have opportunities to find and connect to books, information, ideas, learning and technology. We hope that during this week you will visit us in person or online to connect!
