NATIONAL LIBRARY WEEK

National Library Week, April 12 through April 17, is promoting a theme of Communities Thrive @ your library, and this year Collier County Public Library is hosting a food drive for local food banks.

“Communities really do thrive at your library as the theme goes, and that is why Collier County libraries want to help the community with a food drive to help those in need,” said Marilyn Matthes, Director of Collier County Public Libraries. 

Food donation bins will be available at all of Collier County’s libraries.  So go through your pantry and find non-perishable foods today, drive to your nearest library, and help make a difference in this community.

In tough and good economic times, libraries give free access to books, computers, information for resumes and job searches, accurate financial information and programs for adults and children.

First sponsored in 1958, National Library Week is a national observance sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA) and libraries across the country each April. 

Collier County Public Libraries circulates more than 3 million items to customers each year including printed books, ebooks, audio books, CDs, DVDs and downloadable books.
