Power Up at Your Library Week

Gov. Abbott Officially Declares October 1-7, Power Up at Your Library Week

Excerpt from Governor Greg Abbott's Declaration
Power Up at Your Library Week
October 1-7, 2017

"Between the covers of a book lies the freedom to imagine and discover new worlds and adventures.  Reading expands our minds and inspires curiosity, opening doors to endless possibilities.  It has the ability to thrill us, make us laugh, bring us to tears and move us to new ways of thinking. Most importantly, reading instills our next generation of leaders a love of learning and paves the path to a lifetime of academic, professional and personal success."

The Powered Libraries campaign highlighted the innovative and exciting work libraries are doing in their communities. Video spotlights explore six libraries – from one of the smallest public libraries in the state to an academic/research library nestled in the McDonald Observatory.
