National Library Week: Home

The theme for National Library Week 2023 is "There's More to the Story"

Welcome to Your Library

National Library Week (April 23-29, 2023) is a time to celebrate our nation's libraries, library workers' contributions and promote library use and support.  

Most people know about the wealth of stories available at the library, from picture books and large print to audiobooks and ebooks. But there's so much more to the story of libraries!

Libraries are welcoming spaces that bring communities together for entertainment, education, and connection through book clubs, story-times, movies, crafting classes, lectures, and more. Liverpool Public Library offers a wide array of programs, educational opportunities and resources, 

If you haven't checked out LPL lately, you're missing the full story. Stop by for a visit to celebrate with them during National Library Week, April 23-29.
