Generally, National Library Week is celebrated during the second week of April, however for 2026 National Library Week is actually April 19th through 25th. This year’s theme is Find your Joy and the honorary chairman is the new host of Reading Rainbow, 36 year old Mychal Threets aka Mychal the librarian - who has become an internet sensation on TikTok and beyond. His enthusiasm is contagious.
