JOIN THE CIRCLE OF KNOWLEDGE

Join the circle of knowledge @ your library: celebrate National
Library Week April 13-19

It’s National Library Week, a time to celebrate the contributions of libraries, librarians and library workers in schools, campuses and communities nationwide - and the perfect time to discover how you can join the circle of knowledge @ your library.

“Everyday, libraries in big cities and small towns, colleges and universities, in schools and in businesses help transform their communities. At our library, people of all backgrounds come together to do research, to use our wonderful resources, or to attend lectures and programs. First sponsored in 1958, National Library Week is a national observance sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA) and libraries across the country each April.

Visit the UW-Milwaukee Libraries this week, conveniently located all in one building at the center of campus. No rain, no cold, no hassle!
