Cedar Park Library To Celebrate National Library Week With Fun Activities, Events

CEDAR PARK, TX — The Cedar Park Library will celebrate National Library Week with a lineup of activities from April 9-15.

With this year's theme being "Libraries Transform," the local commemoration will showcase library features providing free access to technology, resources for lifelong learning and opportunities for community engagement. To that end, Cedar Park is celebrating with a week filled with fun activities and events.

"All week the community is invited to stop by the library and use the all ages BookFace selfie station in the library where they can take a photo using one of their favorite books and share the photo online with the tags #BookFace and #cedarparkshelfie!" officials wrote excitedly. "Everyone is also invited to visit the front desk to write down their favorite book that they've checked out from the Library and add it to a window display."

On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday next week (April 11-13), the library staff will entertain and delight young library users with toddler puppet shows at 10:30 am and Preschool puppet shows at 11:15 am. On Saturday, April 15, the library will host the third annual Edible Books Contest at 2:00 pm.

"Enjoy sweet treats while checking out this display of the community’s culinary creativity," library officials urged. "Or join in the fun and bring your own entry of literary inspired food art!"
