This year, preservation week is April 22-28. It is meant to be used by libraries and other institutions to connect the community through events, activities, and resources that highlight what can be done to preserve our personal and shared collections of books, manuscripts, photographs, prints and drawings, and objects such as maps, textiles, paintings, sculptures, decorative arts, and furniture.

Earth Day 1970 was the time to become aware of the state of the environment and put it in the center of the public’s eye.

This week is one of my personal favorite weeks of the year. From April 8 to April 14 is National Library Week, a week of celebration of the libraries and librarians in our communities and our lives. The week is sponsored and organized by the American Library Association and includes all four types of libraries—public, school, academic, and special. The first week was celebrated in 1958, and so this marks the 60th anniversary of the event.
