Western Libraries to celebrate library week with events, parties

The week of April 10 is National Library Week, and the folks in the Western Libraries have a week of events planned to celebrate.

The week's theme is “Create Your Own Story @ Your Library,” and on that note, members of the campus community can participate in a shared story either on Viking Village or physically in the alcove between the Wilson and Haggard Hall sides of the library. At the end of the week, each story will be posted on Viking Village and on the Western Libraries Facebook page.
