New this year! During National Library Week (April 7–13), you can ride MTD for free when you show your Champaign Public Library or Urbana Free Library card. Enjoy relaxing on your next trip around town when you “Read + Ride with MTD.” Plan your trip at mtd.com.
Where will you be April 8? Champaign Public Library is hosting an out-of-this-world, all-ages Eclipse Celebration featuring DJ Silkee, free eclipse glasses, crafts for kids, and the NASA livestream on view inside. Last time, more than 1500 community members shared an awe-inspiring afternoon together (see above, from August 21, 2017).
National Library Week is a time to highlight the valuable role libraries, librarians, and library workers play in transforming lives and strengthening communities. Community members can show appreciation and support for libraries by signing up for a library card, visiting the library, and sharing Library Love on social media.
First observed in 1958, National Library Week is sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA) and celebrated by libraries across the country each April.
“Read + Ride with MTD” is presented in partnership with Champaign–Urbana Mass Transit District, Champaign Public Library, and The Urbana Free Library.
