Celebrate National Library Card Sign-Up Month!

September is a special time of year for libraries and book lovers across the nation. It’s National Library Card Sign-Up Month, an event initiated by the American Library Association (ALA) and the National Commission on Libraries and Information Science back in 1987. The aim is simple yet profound: to encourage everyone, especially children, to sign up for a library card. This annual event coincides with the start of the school year, making it the perfect opportunity to equip students with a tool that opens the door to a world of knowledge and adventure.

Read a Book Day, observed on September 6th, is celebrated by book lovers around the world. This unofficial holiday encourages people of all ages to immerse themselves in a good book and take some time to enjoy the pleasure of reading.

Celebrating Libraries Remember Day is a way to reflect on the past, appreciate the present, and look forward to a future where libraries continue to be a cornerstone of knowledge, community, and resilience.

National Friends of Libraries Week is celebrated to honor and recognize the invaluable contributions of Friends of Libraries groups.
