How much money has your Library saved you? Since 1987, Library Card Sign Up Month has been held each September to mark the beginning of the school year. During this time, the American Library Association and libraries unite in a national effort to ensure every child signs up for their own library card. During the school year, parents and caregivers can save hundreds of dollars on books and educational resources for students. From free access to books and media, programs/activities, digital resources, and virtual homework help, to the expertise of library staff, a library card is one of the most cost-effective back-to-school supplies available.
