Library Card Sign-Up Month
Help us celebrate Library Card Sign-up month. Teens and adults are invited to visit the library during the month of September for a chance to win a Kindle Fire. New library patrons will earn an entry into our Kindle prize drawing when they register for a library card. Existing cardholders earn a drawing entry for every five books they check out, all month long. Children who register for a new library card will be entered into a drawing for a subscription to National Geographic Kids magazine.
