Ready Set Library!


Celebrate with us!

National Library Week 2024 will be celebrated Sunday, April 7th through Saturday, April 13th. 

We'd love for you to stop in your local library. Every time you check out an item during the month of April you get entered into a drawing for a gift basket. Drawing held May 1.

We've got many services and items to check out that you may not even be aware of! Need any of these things? We've got them!

  • photocopy
  • scanned document
  • fax
  • notary public service
  • magazines (print & digital)
  • ebooks
  • movies & TV series (DVD & streaming)
  • music (CD & streaming)

Days of note during that week are:

Monday, April 8: Right to Read Day is a National Day of Action in support of the right to read. The State of America's Libraries Report is released, including Top Ten Most Challenged Books of 2023. You'll be surprised to learn that some of your favorite books may have been banned recently or in the past. AND our Eclipse Viewing Parties!

Tuesday, April 9: National Library Workers Day, a day for everyone to recognize the valuable contributions made by library workers. Stop by and say thanks. We always try to provide the best service to our community.

Wednesday, April 10: National Library Outreach Day, a day the dedicated library professionals who are meeting their patrons where they are. We're going to try to be out in the community today.

Thursday, April 11: Take Action for Libraries Day, a day to rally advocates to urge members of Congress to protect the freedom to read.

Stop by your library in person, or digitally. You can find us on the web at Russell County Public Library and on social media at RussellCountyVALibrary on Facebook and @rcplva on Instagram.
