Press release from Shreve Memorial Library:

March 30, 2021

Shreve Memorial Library encourages all community members to visit the library’s website to explore and access virtual services and programs during National Library Week April 4 through April 10. Shreve Memorial Library offers a wide array of online resources that are available from the comfort of home, including Hoopla, OverDrive, CreativeBug, LinkedIn Learning, and Flipster, as well as convenient reference help, curbside pickup service, diverse collections, and free computer use and Wi-Fi at the library.

April 4 – 10, 2021 is National Library Week, a time to highlight the essential role libraries, librarians and library workers play in transforming lives and strengthening communities. The theme for this year’ National Library Week 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 their services. Whether people visit virtually or in person, libraries are accessible and inclusive places that foster a sense of belonging and community through learning, discover, and exploration.

During these challenging times, libraries of all types have been going above and beyond to adapt to our changing world by expanding their resources and continuing to meet the needs of their patrons. Libraries across the country are making a difference in people’s lives by providing electronic learning resources like online homework help and Wi-Fi access for students and workers who may lack internet access at home.

This National Library Week, the public can show their appreciation and support for the library by visiting www.shreve-lib.org, following @shrevememorial on social media, and using the hashtag #NationalLibraryWeek.

First sponsored in 1958, National Library Week is a national observance sponsored by the American Library Association and libraries of all types across the country each April.
