(Atlantic, Iowa) – The Atlantic Public Library encourages all community members to visit the library during National Library Week, April 23-29, to explore all they have to offer. Most people know about the wealth of stories available at the library, from picture books and large print books to audiobooks and online resources. But there’s so much more to the story of libraries.  Libraries are welcoming spaces that bring communities together for entertainment, education, and connection through book clubs, storytimes, movie nights, crafting classes, social groups, and more. The Atlantic Public Library connects the community to information, resources, and each other in order to spark ideas and new connections.

If you haven’t checked out the local library lately, you’re missing the full story. Stop by for a visit to celebrate with them during National Library Week, April 23-29. Follow Atlantic Public Library on Facebook and Instagram and use the hashtag #National Library Week to join the online celebration. First sponsored in 1958, National Library Week is a national observance sponsored by the American Library Association and libraries of all types across the country each April.
