Limestone Township Library District Celebrates National Library Card Sign Up Month with Pizza.

 

Limestone Township Library District Celebrates National Library Card Sign Up Month with Pizza.

September is the month when the American Library Association (ALA) encourages people to sign up for a library card in their community. This year’s honorary chair is Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots. And like the Autobots, libraries have more than meets the eye.

Whether you’re upgrading your skills, scouting for knowledge and information, or connecting with other heroic readers, a library card is your key to an arsenal of resources. Spark your creativity as a builder or programmer by tinkering in your library’s makerspace area; mine the library’s stacks and databases for new stories and adventures; explore the e-resources for other portals of information. And if you can’t find the item you’re looking for at the library, our staff will scour the collection within our consortium to find it.

We did mention pizza which is for those younger members of our community. Specifically, young bookworms between the ages of 5 through 15 years of age can receive a FREE 8" pizza coupon to Monical's Pizza when they sign up for a new library card or renew their existing card. The coupons expire on September 30, 2024 so hurry in. Take advantage of this opportunity - get your library card and enjoy a tasty pizza while diving into a world of stories!
