National Library Week 2026 Starts Now!

What brings you joy at the library? The books? The community? The copier?

Share your Library Joy with us at the Library for National Library Week!

Each day is themed and there are activities every day.

Sign up for a library card and be entered to win a library gift bag and be sure to share your Library Joy online and tag us so you can be entered to win a book prize!

All week long, you can Round Up at the Register at Lee's Home Center, so be sure to stop by and shop with them!

However you use your library, there’s joy waiting for you here - and we want to see it!

Show the American Library Association what brings you library joy with your original creative work: a drawing, painting, poem, essay, photo, video, song, comic panel—you get the idea.

Send them your original piece by the end of National Library Week (April 25, 2026) for a chance to win a $150 VISA gift card!

Submit your piece at ilovelibraries.org/joy!
