National Library Week will be observed April 8-14, 2018 with the theme, "Libraries Lead." The 2018 National Library Week celebration will mark the 60th anniversary of the event which is sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA).

On Tuesday, April 10, in honor of National Library Workers Day, UCR Library invites UC Riverside students, faculty, researchers, staff, and community members to share a story about how our library has helped you with your study, research, or work.

Additionally, if you tell us on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook how the UCR Library has led you to something of value in your life, your post may have a chance to win a $100 VISA gift card and a copy of “Firebird,” the Coretta Scott King Award-winning book by Misty Copeland, 2018 National Library Week Honorary Chair.

To be eligible for the gift card and book, please follow the ALA’s guidelines below:

You must include the hashtags #NationalLibraryWeek and #LibrariesLead on your social media post.

Please also tag us @ucrlibrary so we can see the stories you share.

Post to Twitter, Instagram, or on the I Love Libraries Facebook page during National Library Week (Apr. 8-14) for a chance to win. Entries can be a picture, video, or text. You can use this poster to help share your story. Creativity is encouraged!

 (Note: The prize drawing and announcement will be done by ALA, not by the UCR Library.)
