- If you don't have a library card, GET ONE! They're free!!
- Send a Valentine to your favorite librarian or take him/her to lunch. If you don't have a favorite librarian, buy or send a bouquet of flowers for the whole library staff. You will be guaranteed to make their day!
- Host a book club meeting to celebrate your favorite genre (mystery, sci-fi, romance, NY Times or NPR-suggested, etc.). Who knows - maybe you'll want to make it a regular thing.
- Take your child (or a child you know) to story time. There's no better way to connect with books than to hear them read aloud - and the children's enthusiasm is infectious.
- Rent a movie that features a character who is a librarian. There are far more of these than you would think!
- Make an official proclamation to celebrte Library Lovers' Month in your school, town, or community. Download a template here.
- Give bookmarks instead of Valentine's cards. Or Valententine's cards that double as bookmarks!
- Post a Library Lovers' Month image on your blog, Web site, or Facebook page.
- If your library has one, join the Friends Group - a support group of volunteers who provide fundraising and other assistance for many libraries. As a member, you will be kept informed of library funding issues. If your lirary has no Friends group, start one!
- Start a book collection drive. Ask your friends, neighbors, and coworkers to clean out their bookshelves and give their old books to your favorite library.
