National Library Card Sign Up Month!!!!

Kids of all ages are going back to school. It's a great time to sign-up for a library card! Books, movies, audio-books, and music all available to borrow without paying a single dollar (unless you are late bringing them back). Go to your public library and sign up not only yourself but your kids.

National Library Card Sign-Up Month

September is Library Card Sign-up Month - a time when the American Library Association and libraries across the country remind parents that a library card is the most important school supply of all.

The observance was launched in 1987 to meet the challenge of then Secretary of Education William J. Bennett who said: "Let's have a national campaign...every child should obtain a library card - and use it." Since then, thousands of public and school libraries join each fall in a national effort to ensure every child does just that.

Library cards are generally free to those living in the library's service area. In most cases, borrowing privileges are granted on the spot. Some libraries may require some form of identification, proof of residency or the signature of a guardian.
