The American Library Association invites us all to celebrate National Library Week this April! Check out their website here.

National Library Week is an annual celebration highlighting the valuable role libraries and library professionals play in transforming lives and strengthening our communities.

All week long, stop by the circulation desk to pick up mini swag bags celebrating the East Hanover Township Library! Open to Adults, Teens, & Children (While supplies last).

The Honorary Chair of National Library week this year is Mychal Threets, the new host of the children’s program “Reading Rainbow.”

Check out his reading of his new picture book, I’m So Happy You’re Here, or check it out from the library by clicking here.
