Celebrating National Library Card Sign-up Month

The Library Card Services Team is celebrating National Library Card Sign-up Month throughout September. Assistant State Superintendent for the Division for Libraries and Technology Dr. Darrell Williams will be visiting several public and school libraries across the state encouraging citizens to sign-up for a new card or renew their expired library cards.

“It’s important for people of all ages to have a library card,” said Dr. Williams. “A library card allows you free access to all sorts of resources for a lifetime of learning including books, hotspots, Wi-Fi, games, and technology.”

Dr. Williams is also reminding students that a library card is one of the most important school supplies encouraging them to head to their library or go online for free access to STEAM programs and activities, educational apps, in-person and virtual homework help, technology workshops, their librarian’s expertise, and more.

“Your local library provides a place for you to go everywhere, without having to go anywhere,” said Dr. Williams. “And to our librarians thank you for providing resources matching your community members’ needs each and every day, and encouraging your community to sign-up for their library card to unlock a whole world of knowledge.”

Spread the word to sign-up or renew your library card at getyourlibrarycard.org and local libraries throughout Wisconsin!
