National Library Week (April 10 – 16, 2016) is a time to celebrate the contributions of our nation’s libraries and library workers, and to promote library use and support. From free access to books and online resources for families to library business centers that help support entrepreneurship and retraining, libraries offer opportunity to all. The theme for 2016 National Library Week is “Libraries Transform.”

Come on down to the Goleta Library to kick-off this special week on Saturday, April 9. The library will be hosting an afternoon of games, crafts, and fun from 2:00 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. in the Multipurpose Room for children ages 3-11.  For more information, contact the Goleta Library at 805-964-7878 or click here.

In addition to this celebration, the library sponsors a number of monthly programs for all ages. Join the Knitting and Crocheting Group or the Adult Coloring Book Club, take part in a Bilingual Storytime or Lego-building activity. Check out the calendar and get to know your local library.  It’s free to the public and open seven days a week!
