Thank a librarian! During National Library Week that runs now through April 19, stop by your local library to celebrate all they have to offer. Lots of activities and events are planned for this annual event -- plus it's a great time to thank those workers and volunteers who man the desk, shelve the books, answer questions, lead programs, and make the library an extension of everyone's home.
Best-selling author Judy Blume is the national honorary chairman. Since 1970, this prolific author has written books loved by children and young adults, selling over 80 million books that have been translated into 31 languages.
