Happy Earth Day! If you want to take action for your planet, you can:

Join us tomorrow for our last meeting of Spring Semester!

Today is Thank You For Libraries Day! On this day, We want to thank all of our librarians for the hard work that they do in maintaining our libraries as the wonderful spaces that they are. We couldn't do it without y'all. If you'd like to show thanks, just come over to your nearest library and check out an item on the shelf, take some time to study, and say hi to our staff!

Happy National Librarian Day! Meet some of Valencia’s wonderful Librarians 📚

For National Poetry Month, a passage from the classic elegy "In Memoriam A.H.H." by Tennyson:

"I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all."

It’s Support Teen Literature Day! What’s your favorite YA novel?

Happy Poetry Month! To celebrate here is another kind of poem, a haiku by Matsuo Basho,

"as I clap my hands
with the echoes, it begins to dawn-
the summer moon"

A haiku is a Japanese form of prose poetry made of 3 lines, typically with a 5/7/5 syllable structure. Sometimes that structure can be lost, namely when a Japanese haiku is translated into English, but their magic still remains.
