Share Your Library Joy

Libraries across America will be celebrating National Library Week from April 19–25. It’s a week to celebrate the importance of access to information, culture, and community. 

This year’s theme is “Find Your Joy,” so we want to hear how the library brings you joy. We are hosting several Open Mic times throughout the week where you’ll have the opportunity to share a quick sentence or two about how the library brings you joy. Your story may be shared on our social media as a testimony about Vernon Area Library’s value in our community.

Open Mic contributors will receive a National Library Week sticker as a thank you, and will be entered into a drawing to win a tote bag or a children’s book called I’m So Happy You’re Here by children’s librarian and national treasure Mychal Threets.

If you prefer not to be recorded, you can still participate by leaving a note on our brick wall or turning in a coloring page at the Youth Desk for a sticker.

Our goal is to spread library joy across our community. If you love the library and its resources, consider dropping by one of these Open Mic times to share that message with others:
