This September, the Catawba County Library invites you to celebrate Library Card Sign-up Month and discover how a library card can hit all the right notes, no matter what your tastes are.
With a library card, you can do so much more than check out books. From job resources and technology to Libby and NCLive, today’s libraries connect communities to information, inspiration, and each other.
Library Card Sign-up Month has been held each September since 1987 to mark the beginning of the school year, support literacy, and encourage communities everywhere to explore all the offerings that having a library card unlocks. Each Fall, thousands of public libraries and schools nationwide participate in the month-long celebration.
This year’s theme, “A Library Card Hits All the Right Notes,” is a reminder that libraries offer something for everyone—no matter your age, background, or goals. Whether you’re checking out a classic story or trying something new, finding harmony at the library’s programs, locking in your focus in a study room, vibing out in a cozy nook, or composing your future with new skills, there’s a seat in the front row at the library for you, and your library card is the ticket.
Getting a library card is free, easy, and empowering. For students, it’s a key to academic success. For adults, it’s a gateway to lifelong learning. For everyone, it’s a smart way to stay connected to your community.
This September, B sharp and sign up for a library card. Stop by one of the library’s seven locations, find us out in the community with the Library to Go, or visit us online at www.catawbacountync.gov/library to sign up for your card today.
