Celebrate National Library Week!
The theme for National Library Week 2022, “Connect with Your Library,” promotes the idea that libraries are places to get connected. Libraries connect people by providing technology, programs, services, classes. Libraries are also connecting entire communities by becoming that community center where patrons can grab a coffee, get help with their taxes, participate in a yoga class, meet with a student study group, play some board games, or visit with a healthcare provider via a telemedicine appointment.
The staff at the SD State Library salutes all South Dakota libraries, not just during National Library Week, but every week. Thank you for all you do for your communities, your student populations, your faculty, and all SD citizens!
Encourage patrons, students, and faculty to share connections made thanks to your library. Did they find a great book? Get access to computers? Attend a great program or storytime? Find a new database to use? Consult with an academic librarian for a class project? Make new friends at the library’s book club?
Share by posting to Instagram, Twitter, or on the I Love Libraries Facebook page. Use the hashtag #MyLibrary.
