You belong ‘@ Your Library’ this National Library Week


Whether you are a job seeker looking for resources to land a new job, a parent looking for free activities for children or a student searching for your next favorite book, you belong “@ your library.”

Today’s libraries help level the playing field by making both print and digital information affordable, available and accessible to all people.

Libraries provide cultural heritage and genealogical collections, materials in print and electronic formats, job seeking resources, English as second language, and
many other creative and resourceful programs.

Libraries have historically served as the nation’s great equalizers of know-ledge. The strength of libraries has always been the diversity of their collections and commitment to serving all people.

This National Library Week, join the nation’s libraries and library staff by celebrating the place where we all belong.

The Ramstein Library is celebrating National Library Week by introducing information databases and language programs. There will also be a live demo on how to download books to electronic devices. On base universities will also be here to show you what they offer. 

“Today’s libraries provide a wide range of opportunities for people with diverse needs and interests,” said library technician Karen Lakin. “That means providing their communities with tailor made collections and services for people of varying backgrounds, language abilities and technological skills.”

First sponsored in 1958, National Library Week is a national observance sponsored by the American Library Association and libraries across the country each
April.
