National Library Week is April 4 to 10. Why not thank your local library and librarians for all they do to better your community? It may be a bit more difficult because of COVID-19, but most libraries have some programs going now. From the grand main libraries of New York and Los Angeles to the small local libraries and even the mobile ones that volunteers manage, libraries are one of the backbones of America.
Think of the many programs libraries provide, besides an array of books, videos and other publications. They offer tools for communication, research and study, as well as a variety of educational classes for people of all ages. Their children's programs are known throughout the cities. Some librarians will provide speeches for local organization meetings. Book clubs are usually available for study, discussions and critiques. Libraries often provide book kits for local book clubs. My historical fiction Victory with Valor provides an excellent book club publication. Readers can enjoy the exciting story of Carrie Chapman Catt's life as she marches foreword with the suffragists to victory, getting the vote for women. At the same time, they can learn about how a constitutional amendment is passed, and then must be ratified by the individual states. They see political infighting, as we have today, and how voters are divided on a major societal issue.
