National Library Week: April 23-29


National Library Week is a time to recognize and remember the libraries and librarians in your organizations and communities, and the work they do to teach, provide access to information, and promote equity to people of all backgrounds. Whether people visit in person or virtually, libraries offer opportunities for everyone to explore new worlds and become their best selves through access to technology, multimedia content, and educational programs. The CVTC Library serves all staff, faculty, students and now the community with the recent joining of the MORE Public Library Consortium. So far this year, over 80,000 people have walked through our doors, nearly 20,000 items have been borrowed, 100,000 digital resources were accessed, and over 800 students have had classroom library instruction. One of the most progressive academic libraries in Wisconsin, we offer unique study spaces; video, board, and yard games; cooking supplies; and even musical instruments. A small library with a big impact! Nominate a library star or learn more about your CVTC librarians and library staff.

Stop by in the library this week to make a library button and enter our drawing for a gift card, available Monday-Saturday. Wednesday April 26th we will also have some free cookies available to celebrate!
