National Library Week, April 6-12, will be celebrated at the Geneseo Library, beginning on Monday, April 7.
Food for Fines is being offered to anyone who visits the library between April 7-12, and brings in one canned food item for every dollar of their library fine to erase the fine. Registration also is being held for a drawing for an Apple iPad Mini, with the drawing to be held April 12.
A statement from the Geneseo Public Library reads, “Chart your next library adventure by browsing the stacks or joining a book club. Let an author color your imagination at an author talk, outline your big business idea at an entrepreneur workshop, or trace your history with your library’s genealogy resources. Make your mark and get involved with your library by volunteering or spreading the word.”
-MONDAY, APRIL 7: “Right to Read Day,” a day for readers, advocates, and library lovers to take action to protect, defend, and celebrate the right to read.
-TUESDAY, APRIL 8: National Library Workers Day, a day for library staff, users, administrators, and friends’ groups to recognize the valuable contributions made by all library workers.
-WEDNESDAY, APRIL 9: National Library Outreach Day, a day to celebrate library outreach and the dedicated library professionals who are meting their patrons where they are.
-THURSDAY, APRIL 10: Take Action for Libraries Day, a day to rally advocates to support libraries.
-FRIDAY, APRIL 11: Make A Difference Day, a day in which the public can thank the library by making monetary donations to their current projects. The current project of the Geneseo Library is the Reading Garden, which is more than half-way to its fundraising goal.
-SATURDAY, APRIL 12: Win A Prize Day, the day the drawing will be held for the grand prize – an Apple iPad Mini.
