The New Year is a time for renewal—a chance to reflect, set intentions, and try something new. Library Learning Week embraces that moment by inviting you to explore learning in ways that feel accessible, practical, and inspiring. Whether you want to build a new skill, revisit a long-held interest, or simply learn alongside others, this week is about showing up with curiosity.
From Saturday, January 24, through Sunday, February 1, we’re hosting dozens of events at all of our locations! Programs are designed for Kids, Teens, and Adults and include hands-on workshops, creative experiences, and opportunities to learn something useful and interesting.
Learning is better when it’s shared. Library Learning Week brings people together to exchange ideas, build confidence, and strengthen community connections.
As a thank-you for joining us, everyone who attends a Library Learning Week event can enter a drawing to win one of four eReaders, generously donated by the Spokane Public Library Foundation.
