Today kicks off National Library Week, a time when librarians and library workers toot their own horns. National library use is at an all time high--so what better time to celebrate? While supplies last, MPL will be giving away a date due receipt magnet (which includes a plastic pocket), as well as comment cards to give customers the opportunity to submit their
remarks about the good work that library workers perform.

In today’s economy, libraries offer free resources to help people find jobs and learn new skills. Public libraries have free resources like books, magazines, DVDs and computer and wifi access---but what makes the library unique is access to trained professional librarians to help people find and interpret the information they need to make a difference in their lives.
National Library Week is the perfect time to grab your library card, come to one of our 13 libraries, and say hello to your favorite library worker.
