Celebrate National Library Week April 10-16

(BENTON, KY) – Libraries are places for new beginnings.  Whether you are getting your first library card, learning new computer skills or planning a trip, the library is the place where your story begins. This National Library Week, join our nation’s libraries and librarians and Create your own story @ your library.

The Marshall County Public Library is celebrating National Library Week by offering fine forgiveness for materials turned in late and holding a daily drawing for free books. The featured patrons for the month will be the ladies of the Joy Book Club, which meets once a month at the Calvert City branch.

“Every day, libraries across the country are helping people create their own unique stories,” says Kristi Tucker.  “Whether it is by opening a book and exploring distant lands, or by learning how to use new technologies to find a job, people at our library are creating new stories for themselves.”

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.
