September is Library Card Sign-Up Month

(09/01/2020) – September is Library Card Sign-Up Month, a time when the Warren-Trumbull County Public Library joins with the American Library Association (ALA) and libraries nationwide to remind parents, caregivers, and students that signing up for a free library card can save them money while offering rewards in academic achievement and lifelong learning.

Through access to technology, media resources, and educational programs, a library card gives students the tools to succeed in the classroom and provides people of all ages opportunities to pursue their dreams and passions.

The Warren-Trumbull County Public Library, along with libraries everywhere, continues to adapt and expand services to meet the evolving needs of our community. From borrowing digital e-books, streaming movies, or participating in virtual story times and online events, there’s something for everyone at the library.

Warren-Trumbull County Public Library cards are issued at no cost to anyone who lives, works, or attends school in Ohio.

For more information about how to sign up for a library card, stop by any Warren-Trumbull County Public Library location (in Brookfield, Cortland, Howland, Liberty, Lordstown, or Warren) or visit the library online at www.wtcpl.org.

This year, DC’s Wonder Woman is embarking on a mission to champion the power of a library card as Library Card Sign-up Month Honorary Chair. In her new role, Wonder Woman will promote the value of libraries and encourage everyone to get their very own library card.

Since 1987, Library Card Sign-up Month has been held each September to mark the beginning of the school year. During the month, the ALA and libraries unite together in a national effort to ensure every child signs up for their own library card.
