April 19-25 is National Library Week!
This year's theme is "Find Your Joy" and features Honorary Chair Mychal Threets, new host of children's program "Reading Rainbow!" 
 
National Library Week is a time to celebrate our nation's libraries, library workers' contributions, and promote library use and support.
We are super excited and are celebrating all month long with a CMRLS Library Crawl, a fun month-long event where participants visit different libraries and collect stamps in a passport while exploring programs, resources, and communities!
Stamps = entries for some exciting prizes!!
