Library Card Sign-up Month Press Kit
91´«Ã½
Since 1987, has been held each September to mark the beginning of the school year. During the month, the 91´«Ã½ and libraries unite in a national effort to ensure every child signs-up for their own library card.
Throughout the school year, public librarians and library staff will assist parents and caregivers with saving hundreds of dollars on educational resources and services for students. From free access to STEAM programs/activities, educational apps, in-person and virtual homework help, technology workshops to the expertise of librarians, a library card is one of the most cost-effective back-to-school supplies available.
