On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we pause to mourn the six million Jewish lives and countless others murdered during one of the darkest chapters in history.

Let us honor their memories and let their legacy unite us in standing up against hatred in all its forms.

Never again.

Innovative Study by UPenn and NYPL Finds That Public Libraries Positively Impact Community Health and Well-Being "Our research found that patrons experience refuge, joy, connection, purpose, and expansion through their library use"

"A whopping 82% of people who used the library’s physical space and 79% of people who physically attended programs reported more optimism regarding the future, compared to only 58% of digital-only users."

Our physical space and resources matter *greatly!*

This seems like the perfect time to remind everyone that you can always submit a request for your library to acquire *any* book they don’t have! And guess what? They’ll get it for you! You barely even have to lift a paw! It couldn’t be easier!
