It's September: Get A Library Card!

September is Library Card Sign-up Month, and the Longwood Children’s Department wants to make sure that your child is among the two-thirds of Americans who carry the smartest card of all – a library card. Studies show that children who are read to in the home and who use the library perform better in school and are more likely to continue to use the library as a source of lifetime learning. So, sign up for a library card! Each child who signs up for their first library card will receive a “Welcome to the Library” bag filled with a special treat. Please bring your child’s birth certificate if they not yet enrolled in school. For those children who already have their own library card - show it to us and enter a raffle for a special prize! For more information, call the Children’s Reference Desk, 924-6400.
