Happy Library Card Sign-Up Month! Library Card Sign-Up Month is a national campaign to emphasize the importance of library cards to a child’s education and to combat illiteracy.

If your child doesn't have a library card, you will be able to make them one during the program! You can make a library card before the program by visiting the circulation desk. Are you eligible for a card?
