Librarians are important Children’s Day, Book Day (Día) advocates and April give us a chance to celebrate them all month long.

April is School Library Month, the American Association of School Librarians’ celebration of school librarians and their programs. The 2018 theme is Making Connections at Your School Library.

April 8-14 is National Library Week. This year marks the 60th anniversary of the celebration with the theme Libraries Lead.

April 10 is National Library Workers Day, a day for library staff, users, administrators and Friends groups to recognize the valuable contributions made by all library workers.

April 11 is National Bookmobile Day, celebrating our nation’s bookmobiles and the dedicated library professionals who provide this valuable and essential service to their communities every day. (Bookmobiles are a great place to have a Día celebration!)
