The Smartest Card...what is it?

You can get the Smartest Card at your library.
It's your own personal library card.
Why do you need one? Well...

• Why buy when you can borrow? Your public library is a goldmine of books, magazines, movies, CDs and other great stuff.
• Make learning fun. Check out reading clubs, storyhours, movies and other free programs for kids and families.
• Free at your library. Most public libraries provide computers - and classes - for kids to use, mom and dad too.
• Keep kids reading. The more kids read, the better they do in school. Your library has something for every age and interest.
• Need homework help? Encourage your child to ask a pro - your librarian.
• Look, listen and enjoy. Borrow films and music for the whole family.
• Bring the whole family! How many places can you all enjoy together? For free!!!
• If you don't see it, ask! The library may be able to get it for you.
• It's never too late! Use the library 24/7 online.
• Remember, learning begins at home. See your library's parenting collection for tips on how you can be your child's first and best teacher.

National Library Card Sign-up Month is September. It's easy to get a your own personal card. All you need to do is come into the library and talk to one of the staff at the front desk. She will give you a form to complete. You'll need to bring a valid form of identification (driver's license, current phone bill, rent statement, etc.) that shows your mailing address. Students 17 or younger must have their parent's or guardian's signature in order to receive a card.
