It's National Library Week, April 11-17, a time to celebrate the contributions of libraries, librarians, and library workers in schools, campuses and communities nationwide. The Racine Public Library, 75 Seventh St., will host an open house to celebrate National Library Week, on Saturday, April 17 from 11am-4pm. The free event will feature a community partnership fair, behind-the-scenes library tours, a grand prize scavenger hunt, children's storytime, and other family activities. There will also be special guest appearances by local authors, poets and musicians.
"Libraries are the heart of every community and our library helps our community thrive," says Jessica MacPhail, Library Director. "At our library, people of all backgrounds come together for community meetings, lectures and programs, to do research with the assistance of a trained professional, to get help finding a job or to find homework help, to share quality family time together, and much more."
First held in 1958, National Library Week is a national observance sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA) and libraries across the country each April.
