September is Library Card Sign-up Month
|
This September, Chandler Public Library joins the American Library Association, and libraries nationwide for National Library Card Sign-up Month, to encourage community members to obtain a free library card that will save them money while reaping rewards in academic achievement and lifelong learning.
Libraries have transformed into vibrant, active communities and cultural centers. People may go to the library looking mainly for books, but they can also find other things. Join us in celebrating Library Card Sign-up Month by following us on Facebook and Instagram to learn about the many ways you can use your Chandler Public Library card.

Looking for:
School Report Resources
Students need reliable resources for their reports. Ordinary websites might not be trustworthy - and teachers often limit the number of websites students can use. Often the best articles are copyrighted and not available for free online. Plus the library might not have enough books for every student when they all have the same assignment. What to do?
Check out our online research resources! They reprint articles from magazines, newspapers and encyclopedias, they’re free with your library card and they’re available from home even when the library’s closed.
