In celebration of National Library Week, ALA President Sam Helmick writes:

"Joy can be a quiet thing.

"Joy is the child who discovers their first favorite book and insists on reading it again right there on the library floor. Joy is the job seeker who finally finds the right words for a résumé. Joy is the new parent who finds community in a storytime circle, or the neighbor who walks through our doors not because they need something specific, but because they need somewhere to belong.

"This National Library Week, we are invited to 'Find Your Joy.' The joy found in libraries isn’t incidental. Library joy is built intentionally, collectively, and often against the odds."
