Want to win a puppet show for your school?

     You know that September is National Library Card Sign-up Month for public libraries, don't you?  Didn't we talk about that before? 
     Well, our Children's Library Coordinator expanded upon that theme and has introduced "First Cards for First Graders."  And there's a way the first graders can win a puppet show for their school!
     There's no better time of the year than September to sign up for a library card.  Children are going back to school.  The library is available to help with homework research and provide a quiet place to study.  A library card for a child is a passport for opportunities in the area of knowledge, fun, and the joyful experience of learning about a library.
     For all those reasons, Miss Michele and Miss Norma, our children's librarians, invite first graders to sign up for a library card during September AND October.
     It's as simple as this:  When you sign up for a library card, tell the librarian.  Your name, teacher and school will be added to the list to determine by the end of October which teacher has the most children with a library card.
     The winning class will get a puppet show for their school and special recognition for getting a library card.
     If you have a first grader and are reading this message, please get in touch with your child's school and let the teacher know about the opportunity for a puppet show...but most of all about encouraging the first graders obtain their very own library card.
     September and October...it's National Library Card Sign-up time.  Be part of the crowd with the smartest card you can have.
