The theme this year is "Libraries Transform." Find out how your library is transforming and how it can transform your life by exploring the library's resources and services! It's not just books, CDs, and DVDs--don't forget about our public computers, free wireless, HSPLS Mobile netbook computers, e-books, online e-learning resources, and more!
And continue celebrating NLW with Dr. Margaret Read MacDonald's special performance, Fat Cats, Magical Roosters, And Pesky Fairies on Sunday, April 24 (see below)!
