That’s right: every week we are going to celebrate some small holiday! We want you to join us in celebrating every week – because really, everyone needs a little more happiness in their lives.
Join us in celebrating the holiday just yourself, and take some small quiet time to enjoy it. Or, take our book and program ideas, and celebrate in a larger way in your library. Take a small, goofy opportunity to have a little more fun today! (We celebrate you in doing this!)
It’s Valentine’s Day, and we are in love! This week is such an easy thing to celebrate – we love libraries! And what a great thing to celebrate! I love libraries every day. Back in my younger days I used to skip school and read books at the library. Now I have a shocking number of library books available at any moment. I love libraries, and I’m hoping that you do too!
Check out a few books:
- The Library: A Fragile History, by by Andrew Pettegree and Arthur der Weduwen
- The Library, by Bella Osborne
- A Library, by Nikki Giovanni
- The Paris Library, by Janet Skeslien Charles
- Librarian Tales: Funny, Strange, and Inspiring Dispatches from the Stacks, by William Ottens
- The Library, by Sarah Stewart (Author) David Small (Illustrator)
And of course there are programs you could do in your library to celebrate it! Try a couple of these:
- put up a whiteboard and invite people to leave notes of their favorite things about your library
- throw a party to celebrate the library, or pick something great to celebrate: new paint! five of your favorite books! it’s Tuesday! Maybe have some cake, give away party favors, throw around a few balloons and streamers.
- host a book tasting event, to show people about a few different books that might be fun but less well known
