As National Library Week comes to a close, it's important to remember the important role libraries play in our country. Libraries are a gathering place for young and old alike to expand their minds and learn great things. I enjoy reading anything I can get my hands on and encourage others to read as often as possible. Libraries provide great services to their communities and deserve recognition. So I hope you'll go pick up a book and enjoy, not just during National Library Week, but all 52 weeks of the year.
