National Library Week, taking place April 19-25 this year, is an annual celebration highlighting the valuable role libraries and library professionals play in transforming lives and strengthening our communities.
Mychal Threets—award-winning librarian, author, social media star, and new host of the children’s program Reading Rainbow—serves as Honorary Chair of National Library Week.
“Find Your Joy,” is an invitation for people of all backgrounds to explore and discover what sparks joy in them at the library. The theme amplifies a message that is ever-present in Threets’ recurring viral videos about the innumerable ways people can find joy in the library, and in his debut picture book, I’m So Happy You’re Here: A Celebration of Library Joy.
