September is Library Card Sign-up Month!
|
|
|
The Cora J. Belden Library joins with other public libraries nationwide to make sure that every student has the most important school supply of all – a library card. Since 1987, Library Card Sign-up Month has been held each September to mark the beginning of the school year. For students, a library card is essential. A library card provides access to e-books, homework help and a multitude of online research tools and resources for their studies.
