Brumback Library has scheduled a number of special events and activities for its celebration of National Library Week this week. This year’s theme, “Libraries = Strong Communities”, seeks to recognize the contributions of the nation’s libraries while also promoting library use and support.

The highlight of this week’s events at Brumback Library will be an appearance by the Lima Symphony Orchestra String Quartet for the LSO’s new “Symphony Story Time” program. The string quartet will play Classical selections while several children’s books are read, starting at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, April 10.

National Library Week began in 1958 as an event sponsored by the American Library Association. Each year, a variety of programs and activities are held at libraries across the United States to celebrate the resources, activities, and services offered to the public.
