According to the ALA website, The first National Library Week was observed in 1958 with the theme "Wake Up and Read!" The 2025 celebration marks the 67th anniversary of the first event. Tools to celebrate are available on the National Library Week web page.
Do you have a favorite local library in NW Bergen County? To me, they are all great and each library location offers something very unique!
From borrowing books to borrowing a mini vacuum, libraries have it all!
Do you have a favorite librarian? We love Denise at the Mahwah Library, Matt at the Ramsey library and every librarian and staff member in between who are always so friendly and helpful!
Libraries have become a saving grace for many families with children of all ages. Homeschool families have endless programs to join which make them feel part of the community. From robotics classes, to cybersecurity training, to art therapy, cooking competitions, and so much more!
Libraries often also offer classes for adults, free movie showings and coffee and book quiet nights, just for parents!
Celebrate your local libraries every day and especially this week (April 7th-April 11th) which is National Library Week!
