September marks a special month in libraries--it’s National Library Card Sign-up Month.
Everyone can benefit from having a library card and signing up is simple. Adults, stop by the library and bring a photo ID and proof of address. Anyone under 18, bring a parent/guardian and make sure they have their photo ID and proof of address.
When you have a library card, you can check out our wide collection of materials! We offer books (of course) but many other things, such as:
