Celebrating Library Card Sign-Up Month

What did your back-to-school list look like? Pencils, crayons, folders, and binders? This week, we’re talking about one more important thing you need to kick off the school year right: a library card!

It’s officially library card sign-up month, and we have some info to help you and your family get library cards of your own.

Explore: Head over to your local library and browse the selection of books, movies, and more at your fingertips! The library has all sorts of great things to offer, just waiting for you and your little reader to learn more! (If you’re unsure what your closest library is, check out https://libraryfinder.org/.)

Sign Up: Get your library card for you and your family today by signing up in person or conveniently right here. (See the simple requirements for signing up, which include photo ID and proof of address.) And the best part? Your library card is 100% free!

Borrow: Take home endless adventures in the library’s selection of children’s books and stories and read with your child! Explore movies, music, fiction and nonfiction books, and so much more!

Already have a library card and want to give your child their own? The Cortland Free Library has some simple requirements to look into. Check out the guidelines for youth (12 and younger) here.

There’s never been a better time to sign up your child for their own library card. Since 1987, families have been celebrating library card sign-up month by getting their cards and diving into the exciting worlds held within the library’s doors.

Take this September as your family’s chance to join in on this exciting and totally free opportunity!
