NATIONAL LIBRARY WEEK

It's National Library Week, April 6-12! This week, RCPL invites you to visit your library, explore its collections, attend a program, and honor Right to Read Day (today!) and National Library Workers Day (April 8). Your support keeps libraries vibrant and welcoming for all. This is your moment to show some love—let your community and library staff know how much they mean to you. Stop by. Discover something new. Spread the word. Be a proud library advocate.


If you are concerned about the future of federal funding for libraries, Thursday is Take Action for Libraries Day. Here are some ways to stand up for libraries:

COMIC ARTS FEST

Peninsula Libraries Comic Arts Fest (PLCAF) is here, and we are celebrating throughout April 2025! PLCAF celebrates the importance of comics as literature in a visual art form and enables aspiring artists and readers of all ages through author visits, workshops and comics-related programs.  


The Small Press Comics Expo is not to miss on Saturday, April 26, at the South San Francisco Library and Parks & Recreation Center. The Expo highlights local creators and provides guidance on writing and illustration.


Throughout April, there are Comic Arts events all over San Mateo County and RCPL has two special events with The Simpsons artist Carlos Nieto III:
