In celebration of the American Library Association¹s (ALA) National Library

Week, April 10 through 16, the Wayne State University Library System will be

hosting an exhibit and film showing that exemplifies this year's theme:

"Something for Everyone."  As a well-known book and film, the Wizard of Oz

has delighted young and old alike over the years.

The exhibit will be on display in the atrium of the David Adamany

Undergraduate Library throughout the month of April and share information

about the author, the story of Oz and the 1939 film starring Judy Garland.

The film showing will take place in the Bernath Auditorium at the

Undergraduate Library on Wed., April 13 at 1 p.m.  The film is free and

open to the public.

First sponsored in 1958, National Library Week is a national observance

sponsored by the ALA and libraries across the country each April. It is a
