September is Library Card Sign Up Month

Studies show that children who are read to in the home and who use the library perform better in school. September is Library Card Sign-up Month, a time when the Brooke County Library and Follansbee Branch joins with the American Library Association and public libraries nationwide to make sure that every student has the most important school supply of all – a free library card.
This year’s theme, “One Card, Endless Possibilities,” is a reminder that libraries are for everyone—no matter your age, background, or goals. Whether you’re diving into a new hobby, searching for your next great read, brushing up on tech skills, or helping your child succeed in school, it all starts with a library card.
Resources at the Brooke County Library and Follansbee Branch are available to anyone who has a library card. A library card unlocks a world of adventure – giving everyone access to books, e-books and other digital content, computers, music, movies and more.
Our library provides access and programs for students of all ages. There’s really something for everyone and it’s all free with a library card.
For more information on how to sign up for a library card, visit the Brooke County Library or Follansbee Branch in person or visit the library online at brookecountylibs.org.
