CHICAGO – During the month of September, ask your library users to show off the most valuable card in their wallets – their library card.



In celebration of Library Card Sign-up Month, held each September, the atyourlibrary.org website is looking for photos of library users with the “smartest card” – a library card.



To upload photos, visit atyourlibrary.org’s . Photos will be shown on the atyourlibrary.org home page throughout the month of September.



Library Card Sign-up Month is a time when public and school libraries across the country join together to remind parents that a library card is the most important school supply of all. Library Card Sign-up Month is sponsored by the 91ý’s Campaign for America’s Libraries.



Libraries looking for materials to help promote Library Card Sign-up Month locally can download a print PSA featuring NBA Star and Library Card Sign-up Month Honorary Chair Dwyane Wade. 91ý will customize the print PSA at no charge with a library’s logo. For information and to download PSAs visit .



Newly redesigned Smartest Card logos are available at . Other promotional materials, including a sample press release, letter to the editor, proclamation and audio PSAs are also available on the website.

Thousands of libraries of all types – across the country and around the globe - use the Campaign’s @ your library® brand.
