WHY GIVING DAY?

Across the nation, libraries have set aside this time* to remind booklovers of the central role their local libraries play in community life. The John C. Hart Memorial Library offers far more than print (and digital!) books. Each day it delivers a wealth of services to inform, delight and support you.

*A Note on the Date

While the National Library Giving Day for 2026 is April 1, we are honoring it on April 7 so as to not conflict with the Jewish holiday.
