National Library Week closes, 'Find Your Joy' theme spotlights libraries
National Library Week closed Sunday under the "Find Your Joy" theme, featuring events from a Service Safari at Atlanta’s Central Library to a permanent online exhibition on the 1916 Rising. Advocacy groups and library staff used the week to push access amid ongoing book bans, and We Need Diverse Books enrolled 21 school and classroom libraries into the Unbanned Book Network to diversify collections. Legal defense and organizing were prominent: Senior Staff Attorney Orlando and Library Director Adam outlined nationwide court efforts to protect librarians, libraries, and the freedom to read, while ReadLeadRun.org encouraged running for office to support libraries.
