CELEBRATE LIBRARY CARD SIGN-UP MONTH
September is the time to celebrate the wonders of a library card. This year’s theme is “One Card, Endless Possibilities.” With a library card, you can do so much more than check out books. You can also borrow museum passes, musical instruments and even tools from some library collections. You can also take part in engaging programs like book clubs, movie nights, crafting classes, lectures and children’s story hours. And don’t forget that a library allows you to access technology, Wi-Fi and career resources to support your goals—whether you’re a student, job seeker, entrepreneur or lifelong learner.
In Louisville, the Main LIbrary is at 301 York Street, but there are branches all over town. Just click here to find their locations. In Southern Indiana, there’s the Jefferson County Public Library in Madison. The New Albany-Floyd County Library and the Working Men’s Institute in New Harmony was established in 1838. It’s Indiana’s oldest continuously operating public library.
It’s time to start making good use of your small, but mighty card!
