National Library Week 2025: Drawn to the Library!

From young families stopping in for play and story time, to teens working on a group project, to mid-life patrons meeting to discuss books, to seniors seeking tech help and everyone in between, libraries of all kinds help us connect the dots from one part of our journey to the next. 

We at the Geneseo Public Library will be celebrating Library Week by offering FOOD 4 FINES – bring in one canned food item for every dollar of your fine. Sign up to enter a drawing for an Apple iPad Mini. 

Chart your next literary adventure by browsing the stacks or joining a book club. Let an author color your imagination at an author talk, outline your big business idea at an entrepreneur workshop, or trace your history with your library’s genealogy resources. Make your mark and get involved with your library by volunteering or spreading the word.

Whatever draws you in, the library has something for everyone. Celebrate National Library Week, April 6 - 12, 2025.

Monday, April 7: Right to Read Day, a day for readers, advocates, and library lovers to take action to protect, defend, and celebrate the right to read. 

Tuesday, April 8: National Library Workers Day, a day for library staff, users, administrators, and Friends groups to recognize the valuable contributions made by all library workers.

Wednesday, April 9: National Library Outreach Day, a day to celebrate library outreach and the dedicated library professionals who are meeting their patrons where they are.

Thursday, April 10: Take Action for Libraries Day, a day to rally advocates to support libraries.

Friday, April 11:  Make a Difference Day, a day in which the public can thank the library by making monetary donations to their current projects. (Geneseo’s current project, the Reading Garden, is over half-way to its fundraising goal.)
