February is Love Your Library Month! It's a time to celebrate the incredible role libraries play in our communities. Whether it's providing access to books, hosting educational programs, or offering a safe space for all, libraries are a vital resource for lifelong learning and connection.
Let’s take a moment this month to appreciate the hard work of librarians and staff who help make these spaces special. Whether you’re visiting your local library to check out a new read or attending a fun event, show some love for the libraries that serve you!
