The Smart Card

Two-thirds of Americans have a library card, and this month, we want to see that number climb even higher. September is National Library Card Sign-Up Month, an effort spearheaded by the American Library Association. The emphasis this year is on making sure that school-age children have library cards. Do all the children in your family have a library card? If not, bring them to the library today, where getting a library card is easy. Remember, a library card is the most important school supply of all!

On Display This Month....
