April 27: National Library Week Celebration

The 2023 National Library Week celebrates 

by the Americal Library Association

4-23-23-4-29-23. 

April 27 is the day 

to celebrate the Library Staff appreciation. 

When we are celebrating libraries, 

we are celebrating staff, contributed

to book collections developments and their promotions.

Books are not for stuffing the shelves,

books are for reading.

Librarians, staff, administrators are instrumental

to promote books of different format.

This year libraries slogan saying

"There's More to the Story."

Many libraries now land items like museum passes,

games, musical instruments, sport equipment,

pre-school kits, career attire such as ties, and even tools.

Library outreach programming brings

communities together for education and entertainment,

access, literacy skills, space, support for business

and job seekers.

Remember: "There's More to the Story."

From the Beach

This year, satellite images show large seaweed patches 

south of islands in the northern Caribbean. 

The annual sargassum season runs from March through October.

Sargassum provides habitat and food for many invertebrates,

which gives foraging to migratory birds crucial

to coastal ecosystem. Sargassum is a floating, marine

brown algae. It grows in the Atlantic Ocean forming

during high temperatures and it is not harmful to

humans. It floats from the waters near the west coast

of Africa to the Gulf of Mexico and washes up on the

Caribbean and Florida coastlines. Sargassum seaweeds are

vital resource for native wildlife such as sea turtles and seagulls.

Earth Day Resources

Earth Day resources start 

with books and subject-matter knowledge.

To understand our ecosystem, we reflect on 

the clean air, water, and soil.

All About Birds

 

Instructions on Not Giving Up

 More than the fuchsia funnels breaking out 

of the crabapple tree, more than the neighbor's

almost obscene display of cherry limbs shoving 

their cotton candy-colored blossoms to the slate

sky of Spring rains, it's the greening of the trees

that really gets to me. When all the shock of white

and taffy, the world's baubles and trinkets, leave

the pavement strewn with the confetti of aftermath,

the leaves come. Patient, plodding, a green skin

growing over whatever winter did to us, a return

to the mess of us, the hurt, the empty. Fine then,

I'll take it, the tree seems to say, a new slick leaf

unfurling like a first to an open palm. I'll take it all.

National Library Week from 4-23 to 4-29

In April, we are celebrating

the National Library Month.

When you see your Librarian, do not

forget to express your

gratitude.

Books help growing minds

to bloom.

In this case, the Gardner is Your Librarian.

Do not forget to leave a book review 

on Amazon or Barnes and Nobles website.

Harry up, the books are distributed fast,

as people say, fly from the shelves.

Cheers to the longtime Librarians!
