As National Library Week comes to an end remember to check your local library and the services they offer. Volunteer your time or donate books, libraries are a fantastic resource for books, ebooks, audiobooks, movies some libraries even offer clases in various subjects for free or a small fee. So many people don’t know about the wonders of Public Libraries, tell a friend!

Happy National Library Week 2022!

Please support your favorite webcomic artists by asking your local libraries to stock their books. It’s a free and easy way to help share the comic with more readers.

To make it even easier, libraries can now order the first three volumes of Leif & Thorn through Ingram distribution. Just ask for these ISBNs:

Volume 1: 978-1-7329418-0-9

Volume 2: 978-1-7329418-2-3

Volume 3: 978-1-7329418-4-7

It’s National Library Week, and today is National Library Workers Day! Here’s our buddy Neil Gaiman

It’sNational Library Week, and today is National Library Workers Day! Here’s our buddy Neil Gaiman to tell you why libraries are important:  “Libraries are about Freedom. Freedom to read, freedom of ideas, freedom of communication. They are about education (which is not a process that finishes the day we leave school or university), about entertainment, about making safe spaces, and about access to information.”

He also said: 
“It’s still National Library Week. You should be especially nice to a librarian today, or tomorrow. Sometime this week, anyway. Probably the librarians would like tea. Or chocolates. Or a reliable source of funding.” 

Chocolate is always an acceptable offering. Just sayin’.

Bookmobiles

As part of National Library Week, today we celebrate bookmobiles and other library outreach programs! Minneapolis Public Library and Hennepin County Library both operated bookmobiles for decades. In fact, Hennepin County Library started 100 years ago as a rural bookmobile. Bookmobiles served communities without easy access to library buildings and even took the place of libraries closed for renovation. Hennepin County Library continues to bring library resources into the community, but the last bookmobile stopped its route in 2004.

Photos from the Hennepin County Library collections in the Minnesota Digital Library. Learn more about our bookmobiles in the Hennepin County Library Digital Collections.

This poster was created for National Library Week in 1970 by Peter Max.
