reading in library

September is National Library Card Sign-Up Month, a time to recognize the vital role libraries play in our communities. Libraries are more than just buildings filled with books; they are gateways to free educational resources and lifelong learning, fostering a love of reading and curiosity in people of all ages.

A library card is an essential tool for students to achieve academic success. It provides access to resources that supplement classroom learning, helps with homework and research, and fosters the development of critical thinking and literacy skills. These are skills they will use for the rest of their lives.
