PEORIA, IL -- The Peoria public libraries will be offering free coffee on April 11, and more. From a news release:
Transform your ideas about the library: celebrate National Library Week April 10-16
Libraries across the country are celebrating National Library Week by exploring how libraries transform communities. No longer just a place to pick up some books, libraries today are more about what they do, for and with library users.
Today Peoria Public Library, along with libraries across the country, work with elected officials, small business owners, students and the public to discover and address the needs of the community. From offering online materials like e-books and streaming music to services for job seekers and English-language learners to public art to Great Courses, Peoria Public Library has listened and responded to the needs of Peorians.
In honor of National Library Week, each branch will offer free coffee from Thirty-Thirty Coffee to patrons on Monday, April 11 while supplies last.
Patrons are invited to write a short note saying how the library transforms them and leave it on the “libraries transform” board at the desk. You could also win a $100 gift card and a copy of "Secret Coders," by Mike Holmes and Gene Luen Yang, our National Library Week Honorary Chair from the American Library Association when you celebrate National Library Week on social media.
Post to Twitter, Instagram, or on the I Love Libraries Facebook page during National Library Week for a chance to win. Entries can be a picture or text. Creativity is encouraged.
One randomly selected winner will win! Just be sure to start with the word "Because" and include the hashtag #LibrariesTransform for a chance to win. Just fill in the blank telling us why libraries matter to you or your community. Entries can also be submitted directly to the Libraries Transform website. Promotion begins Sunday, April 10 at noon CT and ends Saturday, April 16 at noon CT.
