April 19–25 is National Library Week - How Can Families Celebrate?

April 19–25 is National Library Week, a time to celebrate the vital role public libraries play in lifelong learning, family enrichment, and community support. Libraries offer free access to books, digital resources, educational programs, and safe spaces that nurture curiosity and wisdom—values deeply aligned with our call to grow in knowledge and stewardship. We encourage families to explore their local public libraries and take advantage of the many resources available to support reading, research, and faith-filled learning at home.

We’d also like to give a shout out to Mrs. Wiederkehr, our school librarian. She does an incredible job getting students excited about reading and keeps our library updated and relevant.
