The theme for National Library Week 2024 illustrates the idea that in our always-online world, libraries give us a green light to something truly special: a place to connect with others, learn new skills, and focus on what matters most. At the library’s author talks, workshops, and book clubs, Americans can connect with fellow enthusiasts and local experts while building relationships that will last a lifetime at libraries across the country. No matter where you find yourself on the roadmap through life’s journey—earning your degree, preparing for a new career, launching a business, or raising a family—the library provides an inclusive and supportive community where everyone belongs.
