Hey library lovers, it's that time of year again—National Library Week! We need your help spreading some library love by sharing what you appreciate most about the services and resources your library provides.
Do you love getting lost in the stories of the library’s summer reading program, storytime, or book club? When you walk through the library’s doors, are you looking for a quiet nook to study or a makerspace to harness your creativity? What’s your favorite thing to check out—books, movies, cake pans, seeds? Do you attend programs to enrich your mind, meet local authors, or find support from your community?
We want to know how YOU library!
Participating is easy:
Snap a pic or shoot a video showcasing your favorite thing about your library.
Post to Instagram, X, Threads, or on the I Love Libraries Facebook page with the hashtag #HowILibrary.
And don’t forget to tag your library to let them know how much they are appreciated!
What's in it for you?
In addition to the gratification of supporting libraries, there’s also a chance to win great prizes.
Grand Prize (1 winner): A VISA gift card ($150.00 USD value) and choice of one ALA Graphics poster.
Second Prize (3 winners): Choice of one ALA Graphics poster.
So, let's see those book stacks, creative reading spots, and all the adventures that libraries take you on! If you don’t have a photo to share, check out the Library Elements graphics at ilovelibraries.org.
Join the #HowILibrary movement, and let's make this the best National Library Week ever! Official rules coming soon!
