National Library Week (April 8-11)

I just love my library.  If it weren't for my library I wouldn't be able to read as much as I do.  Since I don't work there is just no way I could afford all the books I read.  I just love what they are doing this week!  You can get some pictures for your facebook profile!!  I love these (click here). Please support your local library.  You may not know it but they not only check out books, but most will have video games,movies, ebooks, and music cds, and more!!

 Here are some events from their website:
