Celebrate National Library Week, April 13-19, at the Nashua Public Library. Nashua joins this nationwide observance of the pleasures and importance of reading and invites you to use and support your library--this week and every week (Sunday, April 13). The week promotes this year's theme, "Join the Circle of Knowledge @ Your Library". National Library Week was first sponsored in 1958 by the American Library Association and libraries across the country to recognize the contributions of our nation's libraries and promote library use and support. This year Julie Andrews is Honorary Chair of National Library Week. Her recent autobiography, Home: A Memoir of My Early Years, will be available at out library soon. You may wish to take a look at other books about her or some of her movies.

The Friends of the Library Spring Book Sale will be held this weekend Saturday, April 12, 9 am to 4 pm, and Sunday, April 13, 1 pm to 4 pm, on the Library Plaza (weather permitting!) and in the East Wing. Most books are priced at 50 cents to $2. Videos, CDs, and DVDs are also available. Expand your home library while supporting your public library! See more about the Friends of the Library.

National Library Workers Day, celebrated the Tuesday of National Library Week (April 15, 2008), is a day for library staff, users, administrators and Friends groups to recognize the valuable contributions made by all library workers.
