NATIONAL LIBRARY WEEK
April, 19th – 25th, 2026
During National Library Week, celebrate your library, support your local businesses, and you might even win some cash!
HOW IT WORKS
- Pick up a coupon booklet at the library at any of our Little Free Libraries (at the beach, park, or government center) or download it here.
- Visit any participating business and present your library card for their deal and get your “coupons” stamped. (ANY library card from ANY library)
- Return your booklet to the library by Wednesday, April 29th to enter the prize drawing*.
*Each “stamp” is an entry in the drawing.
We’ll also have fun for kids at the library during National Library Week!
Take on our all-ages scavenger hunt, or put your detective skills to the test as a CSI Sleuth. Can you solve the mystery of the missing ancient text? Check out our CSI stations to find out! Available all week during open hours.
