“I have found the most valuable thing in my wallet is my library card.” ~ Laura Bush, (b. 1946. Librarian and wife of George W. Bush, 43rd President of the United States)
This September, your library invites you to celebrate Library Card Sign-Up Month and discover how a single card unlocks opportunities at all 55 MORE-member libraries. A library card does so much more than check out books—it connects you to resources, programs, and experiences that inspire learning and strengthen communities.
This year’s theme, “One Card, Endless Possibilities,” is a reminder that libraries are for everyone—no matter your age, background, or goals. Whether you’re diving into a new hobby, finding your next great read, brushing up on tech skills, or helping your child succeed in school, it all starts with a library card.
With your library card, you can enjoy:
- eBooks, audiobooks, educational databases, and business resources
- Access to computers, copiers, and printers
- Programs and events for all ages—from story times and book clubs to tech help and workshops, and more
- In some libraries, maker spaces, learning kits, or even park passes
Getting a library card is free, easy, and empowering. For students, it’s a key to academic success. For adults, it’s a gateway to lifelong learning. And for everyone, it’s a smart way to stay connected with your community. As author Rita Mae Brown says, “When I got [my] library card, that was when my life began.” Stop by your library to sign up for your card today. With your library card, the possibilities are truly endless.
