This week, April 13-19, is National Library Week. National Library Week is a national observance sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA) and libraries across the country each April. It is a time to celebrate the contributions of our nation's libraries and librarians and to promote library use and support.

This year's National Library Week Theme is "Join the Circle of Knowledge @ Your Library". The Logan Library is celebrating with displays related to this theme and contests for patrons of all ages. Come visit the library to enter one of our drawings for a gift card to a local bookstore.

Thank you for supporting the Logan Library.
