Celebrate National Library Week April 23-29, 2023

ITHACA, NY – Ithaca College Library encourages all community members to visit the library during National Library Week, April 23-29, to explore all we have to offer.

Most people know about the wealth of stories available at the library from our books and ebooks. But there's so much more to the story of libraries.  Libraries are welcoming spaces that bring communities together for entertainment, education, and connection.  Ithaca College Library offers a wide array of resources such as:

  • Ask Us 24/7:  Chat with a librarian any time, day or night! We’re partnering with libraries worldwide to make sure you get help when you need it.  Just click "Ask a Librarian" in the sidebar of the library's homepage.
  • Research Consultations: Book a one-on-one meeting with your librarian for research help
  • Group Study Rooms:  Book a room on the 5th floor of the library.  We also added study cubicles as you enter the library to your right.
  • Games, puzzles, coloring pages & DVDs:  As we approach Stop & Breathe week, take a break in the library.  Puzzles and DVDs can be checked out at the Circulation Desk.

Stop by for a visit to celebrate with us during National Library Week, April 23-29. Follow us on Twitter @ithacalibrary and the hashtag #NationalLibraryWeek to join the online celebration.  We'll have a raffle available (or visit Cathy Michael's office in the Digital Media Center on the 3rd floor), lollipops at our service desks, and we'll fly the library flag outside the Campus Center.

First sponsored in 1958, National Library Week is a national observance sponsored by the American Library Association and libraries of all types across the country each April.  Press release adapted from the ALA website.
