September is Library Card Sign-up Month, a national campaign to emphasize the importance of library cards to a child’s education and to combat illiteracy.
This September, the Mishawaka-Penn-Harris Public Library joins the American Library Association (ALA) to remind everyone about the valuable resources available with a library card. A library card allows you to borrow books in person, read digital eBooks, listen to eAudiobooks and so much more.
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 work together in a national effort to ensure every child signs up for their own library card.
There’s something for everyone at the Mishawaka-Penn-Harris Public Library and signing up for a library card is the first step to academic achievement and lifelong learning for children. It is elemental, really – everyone should have one!
