I love my library. It is where I practically get every single one of my books. I read so much that I just don't have the money to buy everything I read. So I always like to tell people about National Library Week. This year the ALA has teamed up with Caroline Kennedy to help promote the event. Kennedy said that all types of libraries are, “tabernacles of personal freedom: freedom of thought, freedom of expression, freedom of opportunity and the true test of liberty – freedom to dissent,” and noted that, “Libraries have a critical role in teaching the higher order thinking skills that students need under the Common Core curriculum, and the research techniques and analytics that are so critical in the information age.”
Also.. if you are interested in supporting your library and do like to own books then you should for sure check out your library's book sales. Usually you can get amazing deals and all the money will help the library.
