September is National Library Card Sign-Up Month

September is National Library Card Sign-Up Month!  If you've never had a library card, now is the time to get one. 

A library card is one of the most important back-to-school supplies you can have.  With a library card you can:

• use computers in the library
• borrow books, movies, music, magazines, playaways and more from the library
• check out eBooks from the E-Zone or 3M Cloud libraries
• access Encyclopedia Britannica online from home
• access databases such as Student Research Center and Kids Search
• borrow museum passes for places like the Roger Williams Park Zoo and the Newport Art Museum
• and much more!

Library cards are free if you have never had one in Rhode Island before and just $1 if you need to replace your card.  Children under 17 must have the application form signed by a parent or guardian.
