National Library Week, April 7-12

Celebrate libraries this week UTampa by visiting your local public library and, of course, the Macdonald-Kelce Library! Browse the magazines, borrow a book, chat with a librarian, and take a while to sit and study without having to pay for anything in a space that is free and open to all. 

A critical word from the American Library Association - "This National Library Week, libraries need your support more than ever. Book challenges and censorship efforts are still on the rise, and federal funding is under threat. These challenges don’t just impact libraries—they impact all of us." Here are a couple of things you can do to support libraries across America: 

• Contact your members of Congress by phone or email and ask them to protect federal library funding.
• Sign up to receive advocacy alerts.
• Become a Supporter of the American Library Association.
