Happy National Library Week!
Please join Glendale Library, Arts & Culture (GLAC) in celebrating the 63rd annual National Library Week! This year, National Library Week is April 4-10. National Library Week celebrates libraries, librarians, library staff, and the role that they play in the community. The theme of this year’s Library Week is “Welcome to Your Library.” The idea behind the theme is that the library extends beyond the physical building, as we have experienced in a new way during the COVID-19 pandemic. The theme is also a reminder that everyone is welcome at the library. If you do not have a library card, you can sign up here to get started accessing our collections.

The Library would also like to thank our amazing volunteers. Their dedication and contributions have made a difference in the community. Whether online or in the building, libraries are essential spaces to enrich people’s lives through learning, reflection, inspiration, and recreation, and volunteers are an essential part of that mission. Our libraries belong to the people of Glendale. The community guides our principles, and volunteers are the heart of our organization.
Happy National Library Week to all from Glendale Library, Arts & Culture!
