Celebrate National Library Card Sign-Up Month |
Whether you’re upgrading your skills, scouting for knowledge and information, or connecting with other heroic readers, a library card is your key to an arsenal of resources. Spark your creativity by attending a crafting or technology program; mine the library’s stacks and databases for new stories and adventures; kickstart your critical thinking skills to defeat the Decepticons of misinformation lurking online. Hitting the road? Use your library card to fuel your mind with books, eBooks, audiobooks, and more. Find out more about library cards.
Celebrate National Library Card Sign-Up Month with us now! Explore Libby for WCDPL, browse our Library of Things, get a new recommended read, or visit your nearest WCDPL location to get a new library card.
