“What are we celebrating, exactly?”
Glad you asked.
Since 2023 we have used National Library Week as an opportunity to get loud about our favorite quiet space.
San Mateo Celebrates! amplifies what the Library does year-round, reminding us that when the Library thrives, so does our City.
San Mateo Celebrates!—a National Library Week Festival is made possible with the support of local businesses and organizations.
