National Library Card Sign-Up Month

September is National Library Card Sign-up Month. Do you have a library card for your public library? Our school library will do our best to meet your library needs through the school year. However, our public library provides many additional services. You can check out more books, attend programs, and access additional online resources.

Some of our favorite books for younger readers about the public library include those about animals visiting the library including Book! Book! Book!, Bats in the Library and Library Lion. Even Curious George enjoys visiting his public library! 

For the older crowd there are books like Help! I’m a Prisoner in the Library. Arthur also has a library adventure in Arthur Locked in the Library! Instead of getting stuck in the library we hope you’ll visit the public library during September. 

Click here to visit the St. Mary's County Public Library Homepage.  You can find all kinds of helpful information at this site.  I know that I'm on their site a lot, searching for books, using their resources, and many other things.

If you or your children don't have a library card, there are many ways to get one.  Miss Jill from the Leonardtown Public Library will be at Open House tonight with library card sign-up forms. She will also have handouts about many of the resources that the Public Library has to offer.  If you can't make it make it to Open House tonight, you can click here to visit the library card page on the Public Library website.  It gives you a few options on how to apply for a card.  You can apply online or in person.  If you want to apply in person there is also a form that you can download, so you can fill it out before you go.

Happy Reading!!
