National Library Week (April 23 - 29, 2023) is a time to celebrate our nation's libraries, library workers' contributions and promote library use and support. The theme for National Library Week 2023 is "There's More to the Story," illustrating the fact that in addition to the books in library collections, available in a variety of formats, libraries offer so much more. Many libraries now lend items like museum passes, games, musical instruments, and tools. Library programming brings communities together for entertainment, education, and connection through book clubs, storytimes, movie nights, crafting classes, and lectures. And library infrastructure advances communities, providing internet and technology access, literacy skills, and support for businesses, job seekers, and entrepreneurs.

The American Library Association (ALA) kicks off National Library Week with the release of its State of America's Libraries Report, including the list of Top Ten Most Challenged Books of 2022 https://www.ala.org/news/state-americas-libraries-report-2022

Join us for a free lecture, "Embracing Joy: The Long Game for Literary Diversity" with Prof. Mat Johnson. Monday, April 24, 2023, 5:30-7:00pm. Event livestream at https://inclusion.uoregon.edu/2022-23-african-american-workshop-and-lecture-series.
