National Library Week Banner 2025

What draws people to the library? Everything! From books and digital resources to job assistance and creative programming, libraries are essential to thriving communities.
National Library Week, April 6–12, 2025, is a time to celebrate the many ways libraries bring people together, spark imagination, and support lifelong learning.

At the Free Library of Springfield Township, we invite the community to join the celebration! Whether you're a longtime patron or haven’t visited in a while, now is the perfect time to explore all the library has to offer. Looking for a game of chess, Rummikub, Scrabble, or bridge? We've got that. Looking for fun activities and storytimes that engage children? We've got that. Looking for a place for your teen to feel welcome and inspired? We've got you covered. Looking for digital resources so you can read or listen to your books on the go? We've got that, too. Whatever draws you in, the library has something for everyone.

It's our mission to ensure that everyone has access to resources that educate, inspire, and connect.  Whether you’re preparing for a career change, raising a family, or embracing retirement, the Free Library of Springfield Township is here to support your journey. Libraries serve as hubs for learning, creativity, and connection, helping people of all ages explore new ideas and opportunities.

This National Library Week, take time to rediscover the library and see how it draws us together as a community. Whether you're visiting for books, resources, or a place to connect, the Free Library of Springfield Township is here for you. 

First celebrated in 1958, National Library Week is a national observance sponsored by the American Library Association and libraries of all types across the country each April, highlighting the valuable role libraries, librarians, and library workers play in transforming lives and strengthening our communities.
