The past year has been tough for libraries; there have been more attempts to ban books than ever before, with 1,247 attempts to remove books from libraries in 2023 alone. But the second week of April is National Library Week, where libraries across the United States celebrate librarians and those who work in them. In particular, April 9th is National Library Workers Day, where we celebrate the people who keep our libraries going.
Do you have a librarian who has made a difference in your life? If so, please fill out this form!

Then on April 9th, we can see all of the different ways library workers have helped change the world.
