Library Lover Day is February 14th every year. This is a day to honor libraries, librarians, bookworms, and library lovers. A library is a collection of information sources that a defined community can access for reference or lending. Library holdings can include books, periodicals, newspapers, manuscripts, films, maps, prints, documents, microfilm, CDs, tapes, videotapes, DVDs, Blu-ray Discs, e-books, audio, and databases. Librarians serve libraries by finding and organizing information and explaining information needs. This day is mainly celebrated across Australia.
The founder of Library Valentine’s Day has yet to be found. On the other hand, the formation of the library is a huge history. The first library dates back to 2600 BC and contains archives of the earliest written forms. In the early Middle Ages, monastic libraries developed in which books were often locked on shelves, reflecting the fact that manuscripts created by hand reproduction were valuable property. The 17th and 18th centuries are known as the golden age of libraries, during which many important libraries were established in Europe. In the early 18th century, libraries became more and more public, and libraries were borrowed more frequently. The 18th century saw the transition from a closed parish library to a lending library. In the early 1800s, there were few public libraries—libraries that were federally funded and freely available to all. Later, the concept spread all over the world.
