National Library Week, April 15-21, is a nation-wide
recognition of the contributions of our nation's libraries,
librarians and library workers. The week also
encourages libraries and institutions of higher education
to promote library use and support. This local
event is co-hosted by SIS students and the staff of
the SIS Library, which is home to the Elizabeth Nesbitt
Room. The Elizabeth Nesbitt Room houses several
special collections related to the history of children
and their books and media. The collection includes
more than 12,000 books and magazine titles dating from
the 1600s through today. For more information
