National Library Week (2023)

National Library Week

Hey, Bears! April 23 through April 29 is the American Library Association’s (ALA) National Library Week. This year’s theme is “There’s More to the Story,” which demonstrates that the library has more to offer than only books. Libraries have a variety of services, such as assistance with research, free library events, and more. To celebrate with Mercer University Libraries, we will spotlight our very own library staff throughout the month of April on our Facebook and Instagram pages. Also, stop by the tables at the Douglas and Henry Academic Centers to take a quick survey and grab some candy. You can also take the survey here. The survey will assess the centers’ library services for students and faculty. You can also enter a drawing to win Mercer swag. Drawing winners will be announced after National Library Week. We would love for you to participate!
