April 7th to 13th is NatioNal library Week! A weeklong celebration of the value libraries and library workers bring to their communities. Everyone knows that Pinellas County libraries provide great access to ideas, information, and technology, but Pinellas libraries are also great community connectors and powerful forces in public life. Pinellas libraries build and strengthen their communities through education, lifelong learning, free access to resources and materials, and programming that meets Pinellas County’s needs. Whether it is providing a second chance at a high school diploma, or hosting a local comic con, Pinellas libraries are a reflection and celebration of the unique needs, skills, and values of the communities they serve. For more information on all of the opportunities your local Pinellas library provides, read through this program guide for events specific to YOUR library, or visit in person or online for more information on all the chances for discovery that your public library offers. Or you can contact your local Pinellas public library staff for their recommendations!

It’sAll

at YourLibrary!

Ways to Celebrate1. Visit your local Pinellas County

library. Head to your local library during National Library Week to see what’s new and take part in the celebration. Libraries across the country and Pinellas County are participating.

2. Show your support for Pinellas County libraries on social media.

Follow your local Pinellas library, the American Library Association, and I Love Libraries on social media and join the celebration on

social media by using the hashtags #NationalLibraryWeek and #LibrariesTransform.

A Special Thank You to Library Volunteers This year National Volunteer Week is also celebrated on April 7th-13th. The Pinellas Public Library Cooperative (PPLC) would like to thank the hundreds of library volunteers who selflessly give their time and talents. Library volunteers aid libraries in book sales and other fundraisers, are members of local

Boards, Foundations, and Friends groups, and contribute daily to the success of their libraries. Volunteers at the PPLC Talking Book Library aid in providing books and service to those who cannot read standard print books. Volunteers also contribute to the PPLC Deaf Literacy Center by providing hundreds of volunteer hours in special programs and sign language interpretation. PPLC recognizes and thanks all Pinellas County library volunteers for their generous spirits and hard work.
