National Library Week at the Newberry

Celebrate all things Newberry this National Library Week!

We're celebrating the joy of libraries all week 4/19-4/25 and welcome your help. What brings you joy at the Newberry?

  1. Take a photo of yourself, a book, or another item here that brings you joy. It could be in the Bookshop, in an exhibition, or in a reading room.

  2. Upload it to social media and tag us (@newberrylibrary) with the hashtag #FindYourJoy.

We'll provide a grand prize to one lucky poster.
