Ontario celebrates National Library Week

Release from Ontario Library:

City of Ontario Mayor Paul S. Leon and the Ontario City Council have proclaimed April 10-16 National Library Week, "libraries provide free access to all and libraries are places of opportunity providing programs that teach all forms of literacy, promoting continuing education and encouraging lifelong learning." 

The City of Ontario and Library Director Helen Fisher encourage all residents to visit Ovitt Family and Colony High Branch Libraries to take advantage of the wonderful resources and services that are available. Fisher says, "National Library Week recognizes the importance of the local public library to the community  it serves. To celebrate there will be special programs including author events, a scrapbook crop, StarLab stories, Teen Book Fest and much more." Programs are free but some may require pre-registration. Join us for National Library Week at Ontario City Library - nowhere else so near can take you so far!
