April 3-9, 2022 is National Library Week, a time to highlight the essential role libraries and library staff play in transforming lives and strengthening communities. The theme for this year’s National Library Week is “Connect with Your Library,” which promotes the idea that libraries are places to get connected… to each other, to new ideas, to new communities. Redwood City Public Library continually strives to connect with you by expanding resources and embracing equity in our programming, services and collections. We encourage you to show your appreciation and support this week by visiting us in person or online, following us on social media, or by simply saying hello to a staff member.
Follow us on Facebook and Instagram this week as we introduce you to staff members who make the library go ‘round. Happy National Library Week!
