National Library Week 2025

Celebrate National Library Week at Your Niles-Maine District Library | April 6–12, 2025

What draws people to the library? Everything. From books and digital resources to job assistance and creative programming, libraries are essential to thriving communities.

National Library Week, happening April 6–12, is a time to celebrate the many ways libraries bring people together, spark imagination, and support lifelong learning—and we have a lot to celebrate here at the Niles-Maine District Library.

Discover What the Library Can Do for You

Whether you’re launching a business, raising a family, embracing retirement, or just looking for a quiet place to work or read, the library has something for everyone. From free Wi-Fi, digital collections, and career workshops to STEAM programs, makerspace access, and engaging events, we’re here to support you at every stage.

Have a Voice in Our Future

We’re currently developing a new strategic plan to shape the future of our library, and we want your input. What is drawing you to the library now, or, what would bring you in going forward? By filling out our Community Survey (open through April 30), you can help guide our priorities and share what matters most to you.
