We've been busy around here: cleaning and dusting, making our book shelves straight, wiping down computers, watering plants, plumping couch pillows. All those things you do to get ready for company.
Next week is the 50th anniversary of 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's a time to celebrate the contributions of libraries, librarians and library workers in schools, campuses and communities nationwide -- and the perfect time for you to discover how you can Join the Circle of Knowledge @ Your Library.
At our library, people of all backgrounds can come together for community meetings, lectures and programs, to do research with the assistance of a trained professional, to get a job or find homework help, or to just sit in the comfortable reading area and read the newspaper or a good book.
We're putting up our posters of Julie Andrews, spokesperson for the 2008 National Library Week celebration. We're putting up our poster with pictures of our "star" library helpers here at the Moultrie-Colquitt County Library and the Doerun Library. And we're readying the large plastic bags that say "Celebrate! National Library Week!" that we plan to distribute.
We hope you'll come visit us and see what we have for you. More than books, you know! Lots more!
