September is National Library Card Sign-up Month.  If you do not have a library card, now is the time to get one.  If you haven’t visited the library in a while you should come on in and see what’s available here. Yes we have books ( regular print, large print, paperbacks, audio, and access to downloadable), but we have DVD’s ,music cd’s ,games, and magazines that you can borrow with your card as well.
