First sponsored in 1958, National Library Week is an observance sponsored by the American Library Association and libraries across the country each April. It is a time to celebrate the contributions of our nation's libraries and librarians and to promote library use and support. All types of libraries—school, public, academic, and special—participate.

The Birmingham Public Library is encouraging our patrons to observe National Library Week by participating in a reading challenge celebrating diversity through literature. Read more about BPL's Libraries = Strong Communities Reading Challenge.

If you have ever visited a library to research a paper, enjoy a program, view an art exhibit, check out materials, explore your family tree, learn a skill, access free PCs and Wi-Fi, and more—then you know what a critical link the public library is to the community.
