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!)
Whoo!!! Libraries! We have put up a bunch of very serious content about how valuable and important libraries, and library staff, are to the communities they serve. It’s true. And for today, let’s veer over into the more fun side of celebrating libraries! Serve cake! Or cupcakes! Hand out door prizes! Give everyone awards: Best shelver in the 600s, Most likely to pick up a gum wrapper from the floor, Answers dumb questions without screaming, Best decorated personal area! Whatever kinds of fun things you want to be sure you are celebrating – do it! Let patrons get in on the fun by voting, leaving love notes for the library, or checking out books from competing displays – emptiest display at the end of the day/week wins! Libraries should be fun, so take the time today to goof off and have some extra joy in your day.
