Description

Press release from the Los Angeles County Library: March 31, 2021 The theme for this year's National Library Week (April 4 – 10, 2021), is Welcome to Your Library, which promotes the idea that libraries extend far beyond the four walls of a building, and that everyone is welcome to use library services. The American Library Association puts it this way: "During the pandemic, libraries have been going above and beyond to adapt to our changing world by expanding their resources and continuing to meet the needs of their users. Whether people visit in person or virtually, libraries offer opportunities for everyone to explore new worlds and become their best selves through access to technology, multimedia content, and educational programs."
