SHOW LOW, Ariz. (April 5, 2016) – From April 10 through 16, Show Low Public Library joins school and community libraries nationwide to celebrate National Library Week, a time to highlight the changing role of libraries, librarians and library workers. Libraries aren’t only a place of quiet study, but also creative and engaging community centers where library users can collaborate using new technologies, learn how to use technology or just relax. Show Low Public Library is evolving to meet community needs by providing new classes and events, such as LEGO® Club, Creative Club and Code Club, providing space for the public to meet, and opening a new café operated by The Show Low Coffee House & RGB Roasting Company. “Service to the community has always been the focus of our library,” said Ed Muder, Show Low City Manager. “Our library provides opportunities for citizens of all ages to seek information and access technologies that will improve their quality of life.” First sponsored in 1958, National Library Week is a national observance sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA) and libraries across the country each April. For more information, visit Show Low Public Library at 181 N. 9th Street, call (928) 532-4070, go to www.showlowaz.gov/library or email library@showlowaz.gov.
