[ARCHIVED] Celebrate National Library Week with MPBL!

National Library Week 2025 square

Millions of people across the country visit their libraries every week. What’s the draw? Everything. From young families stopping in for play and storytime, to students sketching out their next creative project, to adults researching career opportunities, to seniors seeking tech help and everyone in between, libraries help us connect the dots from one part of our journey to the next. Chart your next literary adventure by browsing the shelves or getting a new author recommendation from library staff. Make your mark and get involved with your library by volunteering or spreading the word. Whatever draws you in, the library has something for everyone. 

  • Celebrate National Library Week with the launch of Monterey Park Bruggemeyer Library’s new Book Match service! Simply fill out the reading survey online or pick up a print version at the Reference Desk and then a Library staff member will match you with a book they think you will love. Complete the survey during National Library Week and receive a small gift when you pick up your book! 
  • Be the Borrower of the Day! Each day from April 7 to 12, one lucky borrower will win a mug featuring our new library card designs and other Library swag! 
  • During National Library Week, adults and teens can complete a Library Bingo Bookmark and children can complete a Book Bingo Scavenger Hunt for a chance to win a free book! 
  • On Wednesday, April 9 at 3 p.m. in the Storytime Room, kids of all ages are invited to create their own Zines and Comics

Libraries spark creativity, fuel imagination and inspire lifelong learning, offering a space where individuals of all ages can explore new ideas and be drawn to new possibilities. Visit the Monterey Park Bruggemeyer Library to explore its resources and celebrate all the ways that the Library draws us together as a community.
