LIBRARY LOVERS DAY THIS VALENTINES DAY

This day is known for celebrating love, yes, but it’s also Library Lover’s Day on February 14! The day is dedicated to book lovers across the globe, while it also honours libraries and the amazing life-changing books they hold within them. 

During Valentine’s week, students took part in writing a love letter to the library or catching a blind date with a book during their library visit. 

This Library Lover’s Day, we encouraged individuals to celebrate the valuable roles libraries play in our lives and to re-engage with our libraries and 'show the love'.

Many thanks,

The Library Team: Jen, Karen, Meg.
