September is - LIBRARY CARD SIGN-UP MONTH!

Posted on 09/18/2026

Obtaining a library card is the most cost-effective school supply and a vital first step toward lifelong learning. MORE THAN BOOKS! A library card can provide access to programming, computers, books, DVDs, video games, music, research databases, e-materials, and MORE!

A library card gives you 24/7 access to a huge collection of eBooks, audiobooks, magazines, music, movies, and TV shows from OverDrive, Hoopla, Kanopy, and more. You can read, watch, and listen on any device!

Interested in developing a new skill, learning a new language, getting homework help, or playing interactive educational games? With your library card, you can access a variety of online resources, including LinkedIn Learning, Gale Courses, Brainfuse, Mango Languages, and much more. Our databases also enable you to conduct research across a variety of areas, from auto repair to legal topics.

With a library card, if you can’t find what you’re looking for at your nearest library location, you can place an item on hold in our catalog and have it delivered to your local library. You can also visit us in person, and our staff will be happy to help you find what you’re looking for.
