Wake Up and Read! April 3 – April 9

Post Published: March 24, 2022

Celebrate National Library Week and Take a Stand for Books

Libraries and librarians nationwide play a vital role in transforming lives and strengthening communities.

The American Library Association’s Office for Intellectual Freedom  recently issued a statement opposing widespread efforts to censor books in U.S. schools and libraries.

Unfortunately, Virginia has been subject to these censorship efforts, and in light of this, Arlington Public Library is taking a stand to build awareness of these challenged books.

What Can You Do?

Link to National Library Week blog post.

Stop by your local branch between April 3-9 and explore our collection. Pick up a free coffee and a challenged or banned book (while supplies last).

  • Sunday, April 3 – Columbia Pike Library, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.
  • Monday, April 4 – Cherrydale Library, 10 a.m. - 8 p.m.
  • Tuesday, April 5 – Shirlington Library, 12 p.m. - 8 p.m.
  • Wednesday, April 6 - Glencarlyn Library, 10 a.m. - 6 p.m.
