From Sunday, April 19 through Saturday, April 25, join Queens Public Library to celebrate this year’s National Library Week theme: Find Your Joy.
National Library Week highlights the essential role libraries play in our communities, from supporting lifelong learning, to providing vital resources for all. Libraries open the door to endless possibilities, offering a space where happiness, discovery, and inspiration come to life — igniting joy in children, teens, and adults.
Browse below for special programs, book recommendations, our mobile library tour, and more. Plus, stop by one of our locations across Queens to discover, learn, connect, and celebrate!
Award-winning librarian, author, and new host of the children’s program Reading Rainbow, Mychal Threets is the Honorary Chair of this year's campaign. During National Library Week, QPL is offering instant access to the eBook version of Threets's book, I’m So Happy You’re Here: A Celebration of Library Joy. Check out this tribute to "library joy" and host a storytime for your little one(s) in your home, a local park, or any favorite reading spots!
