Delco Libraries Take Part in National Library Card Sign-Up Month

Library Card Sign-Up Month reminds everyone that libraries are the key to lifelong learning
 

This September Delaware County Libraries are joining the American Library Association (ALA) and libraries nationwide for Library Card Sign-Up Month, a time to remind everyone that a library card is the ticket to adventure, academic achievement and lifelong learning.

This year, Disney and Pixar’s “Toy Story 4” characters Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Bo Peep and friends are going on an adventure as Honorary Chairs of Library Card Sign-Up Month. In their role, they will promote the value of a library card and bring attention to the many ways libraries transform lives and communities.

A library card opens a world of infinite possibilities through a wide range of resources and services. From storytimes and homework help, to computer classes and resume assistance, libraries transform lives through education. By offering online databases, books, unique programs and internet at no cost to library cardholders, libraries transform lives through access.

“We would love to see everyone in Delaware County obtain their free library card so they have access to all of the wonderful resources we offer,” says Delaware County Libraries Director Catherine Bittle. “Our libraries really do have something for everyone!”

Since 1987, Library Card Sign-up Month has been held each September to mark the beginning of the school year. During the month, the ALA and libraries unite in a national effort to ensure that not just every child, but every individual, signs up for their own library card. For more information about how to register for a library card, please visit your local library or our website, www.delcolibraries.org, where you can register for a card online.

Delaware County Libraries is an agency of county government that provides support services for 26 independent member libraries. For information about the wide range of library services available to all county residents, visit www.delcolibraries.org.
