The Friends of the Bill Brinton Murray Hill Library marked National Library Week, held April 6–12, with several events celebrating the vital role libraries, librarians, and library staff play in transforming lives and building strong communities.
“National Library Week is a time to celebrate the contributions of our nation’s libraries and library workers and to promote library use and support,” noted Friends’ President Nancy DeLander Beecher.
To show appreciation, the Friends hosted a luncheon for library staff, recognizing their dedication and leadership in providing meaningful engagement, enrichment, and development opportunities for Murray Hill patrons.
The Friends also sponsored a free children’s book giveaway during April’s Murray Hill Farmers Market at Fishweir Brewing Company. Children were invited to choose a free book, encouraging reading and connection to the library.
“We hope people will discover or rediscover the library and see all it has to offer while drawing us together as a community,” added Beecher.
