Women’s History Month Library Events
The theme for 2022’s Women’s History Month is Providing
Healing, Promoting Hope. This is a recognition of the key role
that women have performed in the response to COVID-19
and the day-to-day work that many women perform at home
and professionally to care for others.
Both the Smithsonian Institute and the National Women’s
History Museum are hosting virtual events throughout the
month. Use our free eResources, The Great Courses, to
watch documentaries and learn about the Women’s Movement, how the Civil War affected women, as well
as the role of women in the early days of baseball.
Also, look for special displays at our libraries about Women’s History. From Amelia Earhart to Amy Tan to
Kamala Harris, women make great strides in society and leave their mark.

We All Can Use a Little Relaxation with Headspace
Life today can be stressful. Between tax season, the kids’ school, work,

mindfulness app Headspace, available for free through the Library, has
many features to help patrons relax, unwind, and improve their productivity. Have you checked it out
recently? There are new options regularly, including relaxing music lists to help with sleep and guided

National Library Week
The theme of this year’s National Library
Week (April 3-9) is “Connect with your
Library.” Libraries are a place for people of
all ages to connect in person, connect
through shared interests, connect to online
resources and, increasingly, to connect
virtually. As part of the celebration of this
week , you are invited to take part in daily
activities.
• Sunday, April 3: Check out our 24/7 Online Library. SCCLD has an ever-growing collection of
eBooks, eAudiobooks, digital music and streaming movies for you to explore. Resources have been
helpfully arranged by general subject to make them easier to find, whatever your goal. Entertainment, help
with school, great reads, we have them all.
• Monday, April 4: The work week starts off with the release of the American Library Association’s State of
America’s Libraries Report, which has a wealth of data about library use nationwide. The Top Ten
Frequently Challenged Books of 2021 list will also be released, a hot topic this year with efforts by some
groups to limit access to certain books.
• Tuesday, April 5: National Library Workers Day, a time to thank the many great individuals who staff and
provide support to our libraries. To each of you, THANK YOU for your involvement, support and
contributions to make SCCLD one of the Top Ten Library Systems in the nation with a budget of more than
$30 million, according to Library Journal. We have created a video to show how much we appreciate you.
• Wednesday, April 6: National Library Outreach Day, which gives us a chance to highlight the great work of
our Bookmobile team, along with the Library District’s BookDash service, community outreach activities and
community partners.
• Thursday, April 7: Take Action for Libraries Day, a time when those who care about library priorities contact
elected officials and others to advocate for important issues. You can also follow your local library on social
media and tell us what connections you've made thanks to the library. Share stories on our social media
sites (YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter) @SCCLD about services the library has provided that have
made a difference in your life and be sure that everyone in your household has an active library account.
• Friday, April 8: Have you signed everyone in your household up for a library account? It's easy to do. Just
go into any SCCLD library or Bookmobile stop. Within a few minutes they will have a card that grants them
full access to our physical and online collections. There are even three new interactive card designs to
choose between. For those who only need a digital account you can easily sign up for one on our website,
which will grant you access to our 24/7 Online Library, which is constantly adding great new resources.

SCCLD Strategic Planning
Happy National Library Week! There are over 16,600 public libraries throughout the United States. And while
each is unique to the community it serves, the Library Bill of Rights first adopted by the American Library
Association in 1939 consists of statements of basic principles that govern the service of all libraries.
SCCLD is honored to serve our communities as forums for information and ideas, always looking to how the
library can best meet resident needs. To develop this vision, the Library District is consulting with
Constructive Disruption to create a fresh strategic plan to bring our libraries forward with innovative services,
relevant resources and exciting programs. Opportunities for public input include focus groups with key
community groups, commissions and other city leaders and an online public survey. The online survey will
launch in April, and you will be sent an email to participate, or you can click on the link from our website when
available. Please take a few minutes to complete the survey to inform the important work to make your library
the very best it can be.
Happy Spring!
Spring is here with warmer, longer days. Many families are
getting ready for spring break and looking for activities to
keep kids learning and growing.
The Library offers a number of Early Learning events for
young children and will soon be hosting in-person
storytimes as well!
Teens can find several resources that may interest them on our Teens’ webpage. From Teens
STREAM+ videos for and by teens, to book recommendations around numerous themes, to links to
upcoming library events, there is a lot to keep them connected.
Poetry Month Happenings
April is National Poetry Month and for Tshaka Campbell, his first as County
Poet Laureate. In this honorary position, he has been featuring previous
County Poet Laureate’s on his new official Poet Laureate Facebook page.
Campbell is also promoting a new Bringing the Light initiative, which
seeks original poems (up to three) from local residents about their feelings

and experiences over the past three years. Selected poems will be featured in an Anthology and some will
be included in a light projection installation and/or a partnership with the VTA titled “Words in Motion.”
The Library’s website has a page devoted to poetry events at our libraries, including some featuring the
County Poet Laureate. You can also find works by a variety of poets in our collection.
Financial Literacy Month
April is more than just the month our state and federal taxes
are due. It’s also a time to build up our financial literacy to
help prepare for retirement, education expenses for our kids,
and life in general. Our librarians have compiled a list of some
of the best resources for you around this important topic.
We also have a Smart Investing page on our website with
links to several free library resources that patrons will find useful for financial planning.
Join us for In-Person Programs in April
We know our littlest patrons and their families have been
eagerly waiting for our beloved storytimes to return to the
library. We appreciate your patience. Good news! We will
be offering many in-person programs and services in April,
which includes both in-person events and the use of
community rooms by the public.
