Library lovers should take note — National Library Week is just around the corner, taking place April 19-26. The Santa Barbara Public Library (SBPL) will hold events and partner with local businesses to celebrate the essential and beloved role the library plays in our community. The Goleta Valley Library is also commemorating the week by handing out swag and hosting a poetry reading in collaboration with UCSB Reads.
National Library Week is held annually and led by the American Library Association. This year’s theme is “Find Your Library Joy!”
“It’s just so positive and fun and beautiful,” said Caitlin Fitch, a representative for the SBPL. “These times can be challenging, so finding a little joy at the library is a great thing for everybody.”
