Celebrate Libraries!

     April brings a cornucopia of celebrations that pay homage to The Word, among them being the American Library Association's National Library Week  observances Apr. 14-20. The theme for this year's festivities is "Communities Matter @ Your Library."
     Need I say more?
     Hug a librarian, media specialist, devotees to books and media. Buy a book, audiotape, audio book (including mine), maybe even an e-book. Write! Read! Do what you can. We need libraries!
     Here are some links:
