LIBRARY CARD SIGN-UP MONTH |
|
|
|
September is Library Card Sign-up Month, a time when Washoe County Library System joins the American Library Association and libraries nationwide to remind everyone about the valuable resources available with a library card.
Since 1987, Library Card Sign-up Month has been held each September to mark the beginning of the school year. During the month, the ALA and libraries work together in a national effort to ensure every child signs up for their own library card. This year Washoe County Library System is releasing our newly redesigned library cards in conjunction with Library Card Sign-up Month.
There’s something for everyone at the library, and signing up for a library card is the first step on the path to academic achievement and lifelong learning for students. It's elemental, really—everyone should have one!
