4/5/18 @ 11:05 a.m. - This month, the Nassau County Public Library System joins libraries nationwide in celebrating the many ways libraries lead their communities through transformative services, programs and expertise they offer. April 8-14 is National Library Week, an annual celebration of the life-changing work of libraries, librarians and library workers. Libraries aren’t just places to borrow books or study! They're also creative and engaging community centers where people can collaborate using new technologies and develop their skills and passions.

Libraries of all types have long been evolving to meet the needs of the communities they serve. Diverse groups including elected officials, small business owners and students depend upon libraries and the resources they offer. Resources like e-books, technology classes, and programs for job seekers are just a few ways libraries and librarians are transforming to lead their communities. Community members can also develop their own leadership skills at the library, with endless opportunities to build skills and confidence through resources and programming.

The library helps lead our community by advocating for widespread access to crucial services and lifelong learning. Libraries level the playing field for people of any age who seek information and access to technologies to improve their quality of life. The Nassau County Public Library System celebrates the entire month of April. 

A special, brief survey will be conducted in celebration of National Library Month.  For more information, visit your local branch in Bryceville, Callahan, Fernandina Beach, Hilliard and Yulee or online at www.nassaureads.com or call 904-530-6500.   

See you at the Library!
