April 12-18, 2015: Celebrating National Library Week

It’s time for a real-time holiday celebration: National Library Week (April 12-18) which starts tomorrow! Since I teach in a library school, this is a BIG DEAL at our house! And I hope library lovers everywhere are pausing to celebrate the fact that we have a place to go for free books, storytimes, Internet access and so much more! For more information about National Library Week, click HERE.

Just for fun, check out this clever video that the Allen County Public Library created to celebrate National Library Week. It’s a clever, crazy trail of books falling down like dominoes.

Our poem for National Library Week (in The Poetry Friday Anthology for Celebrations) is “My Place to Fly” penned by Ted Scheu and we’ve created a Pocket Poem card for it. You’ll find it below and on Pinterest!
