Find Your Joy,” is an invitation for people of all backgrounds to explore and discover what sparks joy in them at the library. The theme amplifies a message that is ever-present in Threets’ viral videos about the innumerable ways people can find joy in the library and in his debut picture book, "I’m So Happy You’re Here: A Celebration of Library Joy."
During National Library Week, April 19-25, 2026, discover your library joy.
• Stop by your library and bring someone with you.
• Help a friend sign up for a library card. It’s one small step that opens up endless possibilities.
• Explore something new: a book, a program, a class, or a conversation.
From storytimes to makerspaces, author talks to job support, libraries are places where curiosity and connection come to life.

D65 Library Department Mission
The D65 Library is committed to equipping students with diverse resources, skills and tools to be responsible learners for a global society. We work with students, staff and community members to develop digital and media literacy, information literacy, and literature appreciation. All students will engage in creativity, collaboration, problem solving and inquiry to grow as independent learners and to have access to authentic experiences and explorations. The Library Department acts in alignment with the District’s commitment to equity and celebrating diversity; and the commitment to critical thinking.
