National Library Week 2006
Change Your World
@
Your Library
As we all know, there is one constant in the world: change. Technologies evolve, rules shift, and events inspire us to act and contribute in a way we never did before. In the middle of all of this transformation, it is one of America’s oldest institutions that helps us not only keep up, but grow. It’s your library.
Libraries have always been part of the American dream – places for education, self-help and lifelong learning. With free resources like books, magazines, CDs, Internet access and databases, libraries help people find new jobs, do better in school, tackle projects and learn new languages. Librarians teach people how to find and use information so they can succeed in today’s information age. By supporting their communities’ growth and change, libraries also help them remain educated and vibrant.
Our libraries also help keep us connected, providing a space for people of all ages, classes and races to come together, while keeping us connected to events and people around the world. It’s where people can keep up with world events or research where to volunteer locally.
This week, schools, campuses and communities across the country celebrate National Library Week, reminding the public about the valuable contribution of our libraries, librarians and library workers.
As the world changes, endless opportunities await you. Visit your library and find out how you can change your world @ your library.
