Celebrate National Library Week with us!

CELEBRATE NATIONAL LIBRARY WEEK with us! Enjoy the CU Spinners and Weavers Guild, free tax help, an evening with our Great Author Suzanne Selfors, "Penny for Your Thoughts" live broadcast, storytimes, book discussion, plus a whole lot more at the 40+ events planned for April 6-12, 2025. Library events are free and open to everyone. 

During National Library Week (April 6-12), you can ride MTD for free when you show your Champaign Public Library or Urbana Free Library card. Enjoy relaxing on your next trip around town when you “Read + Ride with MTD.” Plan your trip at mtd.org. Available on all routes throughout the week. 

National Library Week is a time to highlight the valuable role libraries, librarians, and library workers play in transforming lives and strengthening communities. Community members can show appreciation and support for libraries by signing up for a library card, visiting the library, and sharing Library Love on social media. 

First observed in 1958, National Library Week is sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA) and celebrated by libraries across the country each April.

“Read + Ride with MTD” is presented in partnership with Champaign–Urbana Mass Transit District, Champaign Public Library, and The Urbana Free Library.
