Inside the Jonesville Public Library. Elkin Public Library hosts a virtual story time each week. Local libraries in the Northwest Regional system will join this week’s national celebration of Library Week. This year’s theme is “Welcome to Your Library,” which promotes the idea that libraries extend far beyond the four walls of a building – and that everyone is welcome to use their services. “We think the theme is on target since we are slowly reopening more,” said Joan Sherif, director of the Northwest Regional Library system. “We know that libraries are even more important to people now!” During the pandemic local libraries have adapted their services to provide more virtual resources as well as curbside service for library patrons to limit contact and keep staff and patrons safe.
