Make a SPLASH on Tuesday

This was one of my favorite public library summer reading themes:  "Make a SPLASH, READ!"  Find a good book to QUACK open during National Library Week, April 10-16, 2016.

Happy National Library Week!

Celebrate National Library Week, April 10-16, 2016

This year's National Library Week theme is Libraries Transform, reminding all Americans that today’s libraries are not just about what we have for people, but what we do for and with people. Increasingly, libraries are places of creativity where people can meet to share a hobby, use a 3D printer, edit a video, or use software to record their own music. Libraries offer access to the tools and technology and training essential to the economic and cultural lives of their communities.  http://www.ilovelibraries.org/national-library-week
