A colorful illustration of the front of a library with a librarian at the door waving to members of the community outside. A banner over the library reads "FIND YOUR JOY!" Logos for American Library Association and Library Champions in top right. Text below the illustration reads "Celebrate NATIONAL LIBRARY WEEK, April 19-25, 2026"

It's #NationalLibraryWeek! Take time to discover what brings you joy at your library: browse the shelves, join a book club, attend a program, or get started on your next creative project in a makerspace.

Be sure to visit your library or ilovelibraries.org and celebrate your library all week long!

Thank you, Integrity! You reminded us of the excitement of space joy, and you showed us what great things humans can do when they work together.

I’m so happy you enjoyed it!

Hardbacks are books.
Paperbacks are books.
eBooks are books.
Audio books are books.

The delivery mechanism doesn't matter. What matters is the enjoyment of story.

This is very bad news for authors and publishers. The Associated Press is no longer publishing/distributing book reviews.

July is the perfect time to listen to a beach audiobook. Thank you, @highbridgeaudio.bsky.social for highlighting The Finalist! #authorsofig #BookSky💙📚

Wishing you a quick recovery.
