NATIONAL LIBRARY WEEK 2019

HAPPY NATIONAL LIBRARY WEEK, BOOKWORMS AND LIBRARY CATS!

Our favorite time of year has come around again! For those of you who are long-time followers of ours, you know what this means: It’s time to shower your local (and not so local) libraries with all the love we can muster online and in person!

For those of you who may be new here, every year during National Library Week, we make a list of all the library tumblrs that follow us and/or we follow so that you bookworms and library cats can discover new booklrs and fantastic library content! This year the tradition continues with our updated 2019 Master List.  

Without further ado, show these libraries some love and (if you aren’t already) #followalibrary!! (Including, hopefully, us! ;D Just putting it out there.)
