Brumback celebrates special library week

Brumback Library in Van Wert and its branch libraries will celebrate “National Library Week” the week of April 13-19. This year’s theme, entitled “Lives Change at Your Library,” seeks to recognize the contributions of the nation’s libraries, while also promoting library use and support.
