The entities that determine library funding needs often use how many people have a library card to determine allowances. Some people also just need a friend to encourage them to do fun things!

Celebrate #NationalLibraryWeek with these actions you can take this week to support your local library! I‘ll be posting these throughout the week, plus three bonus ideas to keep you in the library spirit even after National Library Week ends.

PuddleJumper My partner recently got a library card. He didn't know they had manga 4h

As a library social media manager, I know management looks at these stats. Interacting also tells the algorithm to boost content. Plus, people come to the comments sections just to be nasty.

It‘s #nationallibraryweek and you can support your local library by visiting it.

Checking out resources and attending programs/events is one way that you can support your library. Numbers are librarians‘ friends because higher numbers of resources being used by the local community translates into more funding for us.

Check out a book to help your library‘s use stats! Plus, it‘s just a fun thing to do. Just as satisfying as buying a book, but you can go wild with it and pick up books you wouldn‘t buy!

During #nationallibraryweek , thank your librarians and library workers. Stop into the library and thank them or write them a thank you note.

One way local decision makers determine library funding is by what percent of the community has a library card. Getting a card even if you don‘t use it often is a good way to support your library!

Ruthiella I have three library cards! Two county and one city library. 📚❤️ 3d
coffees I have one but can't use it bc I have fines on it (again) *sigh* lol 2d
Kenyazero @Ruthiella nice! I have cards to multiple libraries as well since my state lets residents get a card at most libraries. 2d

Kenyazero @coffees 😱 our library is fine-free or I‘d probably be in the same boat. If I don‘t return a book that‘s a month or more late I get a replacement fee, but it gets waved when I bring the book back. 2d
PuddleJumper I've got 3. One of the towns I work in is a different county to the one I live in so I can access both county libraries. Third one is for a private subscription library which I forget about 😅 2d
coffees @Kenyazero yeah I've heard "a lot" of libraries don't have fees anymore and I'm like where where are they lol 1d
Kenyazero @coffees they‘re all near me, I guess 🤭 6h
Kenyazero @PuddleJumper that‘s so fun! What kind of subscription library? I‘ve never been to one but I know they exist. 6h
PuddleJumper @Kenyazero It's basically a private library that you pay to join/use. They put on loads of historical and literary talks with authors and academics and you can go and sit in the garden with free tea and coffee. It was started in 1816 I think. Before libraries were a thing. Members joined, paid an annual fee which went to purchasing more books and letting the library grow. 6h
Kenyazero @PuddleJumper that‘s cool that these still exist! I knew subscription fees used to be how most or all libraries got funding before it switched to tax-funded (which is kind of like a subscription but with more people!) 6h
PuddleJumper @Kenyazero Yeah, it's a bit of an oddity. Still functioning and getting in new books etc. It's funny because they buy books based on what the members want so it's basically a crime library now 😂 5h

When was the last time you visited a library? Simply visiting your library helps boost their usage stats to show local decision makers the impact they have on the community.

Kenyazero @coffees that‘s a bummer, I wonder why your library started doing that! 🤕 good thing you have a neighborhood library to enjoy instead! 2d
PuddleJumper I went last week 😂 I try and go at least twice a month, more if I've finished my books. Helps me get some exercise too because I walk there and back 2d
Kenyazero @PuddleJumper that‘s so fun! 🤩 a walkable library is the best! 6h

This week(April 6-12, 2025) is #NationalLibraryWeek
Please support your local library. Get a library card. Attend a class. Print something for 10 cents.

Libraries are essential, let‘s help them stay open.

#NationalLibraryWeek, April 6-12, 2025, is a celebration which highlights the value of libraries, librarians, and library workers play in transforming lives and strengthening our communities.

If you don‘t have a library card, get one. Have friends and family get a library card. Use it!

This is one way to support libraries!

Celebrating #NationalLibraryWeek & honoring all librarians in this brave new world of having to defend the right to read. Thomas Hughes Free Public Library pic is from yesterday's visit to Rugby, TN. The #library opened in 1882 with over 5000 donated books. The utopian community didn't succeed, but the library & 7000 books remain for visitors to peruse & appreciate. A few views to add to one from @plemmdog #litsylibrarians #litsylibrarian

plemmdog @lynneamch glad you enjoyed it! It‘s definitely off the beaten path… 12mo
