As National Library Week comes to a close, we want to share our heartfelt thanks. 💚

To our wonderful patrons: thank you for continuing to walk through our doors, check out materials, attend programs, and make the library such a vibrant part of our community. Your support means everything to us.

And to our dedicated staff: thank you for the care, and hard work you bring each and every day. You make the library a welcoming place for all.

Even though National Library Week has come to an end, our celebration of libraries doesn’t stop here. Every day is an opportunity to celebrate the people who make libraries special, the services we provide, and the community we’re proud to serve.

We’re so grateful to be part of the Crookston community. You are truly the heart of our library. We'd love to see you soon! 📖

(and make sure you stop in before the end of next week to check out our Library themed display!)

Celebrate National Library Week with "JOY"!

In celebration of National Library Week, ALA President Sam Helmick writes:

"Joy can be a quiet thing.

"Joy is the child who discovers their first favorite book and insists on reading it again right there on the library floor. Joy is the job seeker who finally finds the right words for a résumé. Joy is the new parent who finds community in a storytime circle, or the neighbor who walks through our doors not because they need something specific, but because they need somewhere to belong.

"This National Library Week, we are invited to 'Find Your Joy.' The joy found in libraries isn’t incidental. Library joy is built intentionally, collectively, and often against the odds."
