Since 1987, September has been Library Card Sign-up Month, a time when the American Library Association (ALA) and libraries nationwide join together to remind parents, caregivers, and students that signing up for a library card is the first step towards academic achievement and lifelong learning.

We hope you’ll show your support for public libraries and the important work they do in our communities on both sides of the river by participating in the “Power of the Card” program.
