The Cranbury Public Library, together with the American Library Association (ALA), has officially launched Libraries Transform, a national public awareness campaign that highlights the transformative nature of our nation’s libraries and elevates the critical role libraries play in the digital age.
The Cranbury Library joins all libraries in a national, unified effort to increase awareness of the changing role of libraries and the ways in which libraries are transforming to meet the digital and print information needs of their users.
As part of the national launch, the Cranbury Public Library will celebrate National Library Week, April 10-16, with events and programs culminating in an open house on Saturday, April 16.
“Drop into the library to learn first-hand what programs and services we offer,” said Marilynn Mullen, library director. “Let us know how we can help you and what services you’d like to see. Talk to us about the future of libraries, nationally and here in Cranbury.”
Rapid advances in technology are fueling a library renaissance.
“Today’s libraries are not just about what we have for people, but what we do for and with people,” said Ms. Mullen. “The goal of the Libraries Transform campaign is to change the perception that libraries are just quiet places to do research, find a book, and read. Libraries are dynamic centers for learning in the digital age.”
