Celebrate Library Card Sign-Up Month

Do you have the most important school supply of all?

September is Library Card Sign-up Month

September 2007

Observed since 1987, Library Card Sign-up Month is a time when the American Library Association and libraries across the county remind parents that a library card is the most important school supply of all.

A library card plays an important role in the educational development of children. In fact, studies show that children who are read to in the home and who use the library perform better in school and are more likely to continue to use the library as a source of life long learning.

Stop by your local library this September and get the smartest card of all. Get it. Use it. @ your library!
