It's National Library Week!!
April 10-16
So, National Library Week actually started yesterday, but I didn't get around to posting anything (*fail*). However, the main "event" for today is the release of the 2011 State of America's Libraries Report. WHile I think that's interesting...I'm gonna guess it doesn't have wide appeal. :-) Maybe not? Ah well, if you're interested, the link is there. However, I thought I'd share something I personally enjoy instead...
