Geek the Library: What do you GEEK?

Geek (verb) 1: To love, to enjoy, to celebrate, to have an intense passion for. 2: To express interest in. 3: To possess a large amount of knowledge in. 4: To promote.




The Martinsburg-Berkeley County Public Libraries launches its Geek the Library campaign in January of 2014. This campaign is a community-based awareness program designed to highlight the vital role of public libraries in today's challenging environment and raise awareness about the critical funding issues public libraries are facing. Throughout the year you will find special geek-related activities including a "Geek of the Week" board so that you can see what others in your community geek! Look for Geek the Library signs throughout the libraries for more information.

Geek the Library is sponsored by the nonprofit library cooperative OCLC and funded by a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. For more information about supporting your library, you can visit geekthelibrary.org.
