This year, multiple Emmy-nominated and Spirit Award-winning actress, comedian, and legendary Saturday Night Live cast member, Molly Shannon will help celebrate our nation's libraries as the honorary chair of National Library Week, April 3–9, 2022. Shannon will highlight the numerous ways libraries serve to connect communities to books, resources, programs, and, of course, each other. "I am so honored to serve as honorary chair of National Library Week for 2022. My mom was a librarian. She encouraged kids to read. So, the work of librarians and libraries has such a special place in my heart," Shannon said. "Libraries are places where communities connect—to things like broadband, computers, programs and classes, books, movies, video games, and more. But most importantly, libraries connect us to each other. Supporting National Library Week in this role allows me to connect to my mother's memory and all the librarians out there. Thank you for everything you do." Stop in, get a library card, or use the one you have to see how libraries transform people and connect you to endless opportunities. Celebrate your library. Thank you again Huntley Area, you made this happen. This press release was produced by Huntley Library. The views expressed here are the author's own.
