Washington Reads: Sam Reed & grandson




Hey, next week is National Library Week. This year's theme is "Worlds connect @ your library." Secretary of State, Sam Reed, is encouraging Washingtonians to celebrate by visiting and using their local libraries.

“Now more than ever, libraries play a crucial role throughout Washington and America,” Reed said. “They not only provide many useful resources and services, they open up new worlds and help make lifelong learning possible. What better way for people to celebrate National Library Week than by visiting a local library and taking advantage of the many services offered?”

Washington State Librarian Jan Walsh agrees, pointing out that libraries have tremendous civic, cultural and economic value.

You can learn more about what they have to say and read some nice words about the Washington State Library too in the official news release.

What are you doing for National Library Week? We'd like to hear from you!
