Meaning/History of Nat'l Library Week?

[Pope1966 <Pope1966@AOL.COM>]

'Netter's,

I would like to send in a letter to the editorial section of our local
newspaper for National Library Week.  I would like to mention a little about
the history/meaning of Nat'l Library Week.  Anyone out there know?

Any suggestions on things I might mention?  I know I do want to mention that
we DO NOT JUST CHECK BOOKS IN AND OUT ANYMORE!  We had business partners in
for a reception a few years ago.  The art teacher had set up some folding wire
"walls" to put drawings up on display.  One of the partners asked...  "What
goes on in here [the library]?"    It's also amazine that people only seem to
notice you "working" when you've just sat down at the desk or you've raced to
back are in the process of locating the right place on a video that a teacher
needs to watch in half a minute!

TIA,
Tony Pope
