The Moorestown Library will be celebrating National Library Week from April 4 to April 10 with a variety of virtual programs for adults and a colorful craft bonanza offering a different colorful craft each day that patrons can make at home.
In addition, library staff will be asking patrons, “What is your favorite library resource or program? Do you have a book that you would recommend?” In return, visitors will be given a coupon for a book at a library used book sale.
