What is National Library Week?

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.

Four weeks and counting!

How are you holding up? The end is in sight! If you are experiencing information overload or just don't know where to start, come see us in the library. Librarians are always here to help you with navigating the databases, locating the right resources, or just pointing you in the right direction. Have a seat at the Reference Desk and just tell us what you need.

Our hours for the rest of the semester will be as follows:

Monday - Thursday 8 am - 9 pm
Friday 8 am - 7 pm
Saturday 9 am - 5 pm
Sunday 1 pm - 5 pm
