Celebrate Library Card Sign-Up Month
Are you a card-carrying member of the library? If not, September is National Library Card Sign-up Month. This September, the American Library Association (ALA) and libraries across the country urge individuals to take advantage of their investment and sign up for a library card, the smartest card in your wallet. Observed every year since 1987, Library Card Sign-up Month reminds students and parents that a library card is the most important school supply of all. Studies have shown that children who are read to in the home and use library services perform better in school and are more likely to use libraries as a source for lifetime learning. With almost 16,500 public libraries nationwide, free homework help, computer classes and a world of information are right around the corner.
To get your library card, just visit your local library and ask for help at the front desk!
