Libraries Week: Never Stop Learning

Libraries Week is an annual showcase and celebration of the best that libraries have to offer.

In 2022, Libraries Week takes place between the 3rd and 9th October, celebrating the nation’s much-loved libraries and the central role that libraries play in supporting life-long learning.
