The Ocean County Library Celebrates National Library Week Apr. 7 – 13

March 20, 2019

TOMS RIVER – The Ocean County Library joins libraries of all types in celebrating the many ways libraries build strong communities by providing critical resources, programs, and expertise.

April 7 – 13, 2019 is National Library Week, an annual celebration highlighting the valuable role libraries, librarians, and library workers play in transforming lives and communities. Libraries are at the heart of their cities, towns, schools, and campuses. They have public spaces where people of all backgrounds can come together and connect.

Library programs encourage community members to meet to discuss civic issues, work together using new technologies like 3D printing or learn alongside one another in English language classes. Library staff also partner with other civic and service organizations to actively engage with the people they serve, always striving to make sure their community’s core needs are being met.

The Ocean County Library helps lead the community by providing valuable resources to the community. This includes free digital resources, books, music, and programs for children, teens, and adults.

The Ocean County Library is celebrating National Library Week by continuing to provide excellent services and events to Ocean County’s diverse community.

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.
