National Library Week runs April 19 through April 25 under the official theme 'Find Your Joy,' with libraries nationwide celebrating services, staff and community programs. Libraries are urging the public to support library funding, defend access to books and programs, and back library workers facing challenges to collections and services. Advocacy groups are promoting ReadLeadRun.org to recruit candidates for library boards and local office as a way to protect and influence local library policy. Authors and institutions are highlighted during the week, including children's book author and engineer Dr. Carlotta A. Berry and the Library of Congress sharing the U.S. Poet Laureate's endorsement of public libraries' role in communities.
