The Smartest Card
A library card is the smartest card you can carry, and September is Library Card Sign-up Month! This national campaign was started in 1987 to meet the challenge of then Secretary of Education William J. Bennett who said: "every child should obtain a library card - and use it." Since that time, thousands of public and school libraries join this effort to ensure every child does just that.

Hi, I would like you all to know that having a library card is awesome. You get to find lots of information on things you're looking for, or just get books for fun reading. I am a homeschool mom and this works out great for us. We go in there frequently to get books for schooling and also for just reading for fun. I always had a library card and I don't know what I would do without it. Reading can be so fun if you just search out the library website and see what's new or ask the libarian and they can help you find books you may be interested in. Give it a try you may like it!!
Thanks for your comments, Christine! We agree that having a library card is awesome. Thanks for using your local library!
