Celebrate Libraries in April!

April has many opportunities to celebrate the vital role that libraries and library workers play in transforming lives and strengthening communities.

National Library Week, Library Day, Library Workers Day, Library Outreach Day, and School Librarian Day all take place in April, making this a perfect month to spotlight our libraries and services!

We invite you to explore all the ways you can engage with NCW Libraries, from books, movies and our Library of Things, to online resources, to outreach services like the bookmobiles, Latinx programs and the Mail Order Library.

You'll discover that libraries are for everyone!

Listen & Learn

Join writer and biologist Eric Wagner in a free, virtual program as he takes you on a journey through the Mt. St. Helens blast zone!

Explore the surprising ways that plants and animals have survived in the 40-plus years since the May 18, 1980 explosion, and the complex roles that people have played in the recovery.

Join us on Thursday, April 27 at 7 p.m.

Free Comics & More

Did you know that reading comics and graphic novels helps develop verbal and visual literacy simultaneously? The images and text work together to create meaning, which can communicate the message faster and more efficiently. This can be especially helpful with reluctant readers.

With your library card, you have free, unlimited access to thousands of comics, graphic novels and manga on ComicsPlus at any time without a wait or limits. You can read on your computer, tablet or phone. Sign up at the local library.

Attend a free program this month at your local library! Find something for everyone, no matter your age, stage, or interest.

Most of our libraries offer regular children's story times and weekly craft programs. Design your own journal at Tonasket
