We're Celebrating National Library Week
Happy National Library Week to all of the incredible library staff out there! Throughout this very difficult year, it's a testament to the important work you do that patrons can still find their place at the library at home using the virtual services and digital content you provide, and which they need more than ever.
To give thanks, we have a fantastic list of titles we'd like to share, featuring libraries, librarian characters, or simply celebrate our uniting love of literature.
