National Library Week is April 7th through April 13th and the Charleston Friends of the Library are planning a month-long celebration of events that highlight the valuable role libraries, librarians and library workers play in transforming lives and communities.
“Libraries are more than book repositories,” Brittany Mathis, Executive Director of the Charleston Friends of the Library, said. “They transform lives and communities every day by providing patrons safe spaces to engage in civic discussions; tools to access and evaluate online news sources; services to meet the needs of a digitally evolving society; and collaborative programs and resources for teachers to foster student success.”
Below is a list of events hosted by the Charleston Friends of the Library in honor of National Library Week:
