“When I got my library card, that was when my life began.” – Rita Mae Brown, author
Celebrate Library Card Sign-up Month this September with your library and the American Library Association! We’re inviting everyone to discover the incredible resources and opportunities available at your local library by signing up for a library card.
This year, the American Library Association is thrilled to have Optimus Prime from the TRANSFORMERS as its special ambassadors, highlighting that there’s more than meets the eye at your library. Whether you’re looking to enhance your skills, find valuable information, or connect with fellow avid readers, a library card unlocks a world of possibilities. Today’s libraries are vibrant community centers offering much more than just books.
At your library, you’ll find diverse programs, job search assistance, homework help, book clubs, author talks, story times, and more. Curious about exploring a new hobby or learning a new language? Your library has the resources you need. Interested in starting or growing a small business? We provide resources for entrepreneurs and small business owners. Did you know that your library offers access to books, magazine, movies, educational kits, games, and online resources through the robust MORE consortium? And if MORE doesn’t have it, we can probably get it outside the system through interlibrary loan. There’s truly something for everyone at your library.
Getting a library card is free, easy and is an essential step toward academic success and lifelong learning for students. Everyone should have one!
“I have found the most valuable thing in my wallet is my library card.” ~ Laura Bush, former first lady
