Library Lovers' Day

Library Lovers' Day 2020




Library Lovers Day is Friday 14th February.  You might think this is Valentines Day but in our library it is a chance to celebrate our love of the library!

Here is a collection of books from my friend at Kinderbookswitheverything.





Library Lovers Law


    Thou shalt not speak above a whisper – of all the treasures of the library, silence is golden.

    Thou shalt remember to return or renew books and other materials before they are overdue.

    Thou shalt not fold, spindle or mutilate any materials from the library.  Treat books with care and respect – they belong to everyone.

    Thou shalt set out to learn where things are in the library.  Knowing where to look is a valuable skill.

    Thou shalt not let too much time pass with out visiting your library, for in the library you will discover many wonderful things.

    Thou shalt not reshelve books unless you know exactly where they go.  A miss-shelved book is a lost book.

    Thou shalt not be afraid to report lost or damaged materials to the teacher-librarian.  Nothing can be repaired or replaced if the teacher-librarian doesn’t know about it.

    Thou shalt not forget to tell your friends about the good books you’ve read.

    Thou shalt seek to expand your interests and abilities by challenging yourself with good books.

    Thou shalt take much pride in your library.  Use and care for what it has to offer.




Here are a few craft ideas - I love to hold a craft lunch in the library to celebrate Library Lovers' Day.






One more thing - here is the perfect song to play while you enjoy this special day. 


Love in the library, quiet and cool
Love in the library, there are no rules
Surrounded by stories surreal and sublime
I fell in love in the library once upon a time



Of course you will also want to read lots of books - perhaps you can do this every day this week. Check out this list of 180 titles - you are sure to find one or two or even more in your local or school library!
