Love is in the air for many in February. While romantic love may get the most attention, other types of love are just as important: platonic love, familial love, and library love.
February is National Library Lovers Month and it’s the perfect time to celebrate all things literary! From jam-packed shelves to fun-filled programs, here are a few ways you can show your love for YPL this month.
Are you someone who likes keeping up with the latest trends? Check out some of these amazing books that are topping the New York Times bestseller list. Don’t forget to ask a librarian about what new books are on the shelves and what they recommend.
Check out some of these books with libraries at the center, great for adults and for young readers!
