2026 National Library Week Poster

U.S. National Library Week
April 19 – 26, 2026

Joy isn’t one-size-fits-all. For some, it’s losing track of time in a stack of graphic novels. For others, it’s the spark of confidence from a polished résumé, the excitement of a packed author talk, or the simple relief of having free Wi-Fi when it’s needed most. Whatever joy looks like to you, you’ll find it at the library. No barriers, no cover charge, no secret password. Just walk in. 

This National Library Week is a celebration of all the ways libraries bring joy to our lives and communities. Find your joy. It’s waiting for you at the library. For more information visit ala.org/nlw
