September is Library Card Sign-Up Month!

Every September the American Library Association (ALA) and libraries nationwide join together to remind parents, caregivers, and students that a library card is the first step towards academic achievement and lifelong learning. Studies show that children who are read to in the home and who use the library perform better in school. For students of all ages, the Meherrin Regional Library System offers early learning resources, study guides, and online databases, all of which are FREE if you have a library card. The Library is a great place to find entertainment, too! Your library card gives you access to our collection of books, eBooks, audiobooks, eAudiobooks, movies, and magazines. The Library also offers programs and events throughout the year for kids and adults.

This year's Honorary Chairs of Library Card Sign-Up Month are the characters of Disney and Pixar's "Toy Story 4." Woody, Buzz, Bo Peep and friends will promote the value of a library card and bring attention to the many ways libraries transform lives and communities. To celebrate, the Library will be showing the original "Toy Story" movie on Saturday, September 14th at 10:30 AM. Grab a snack and a favorite toy, and don't forget to sign up for your very own library card! 

The Library will also have a Book Bundle Giveaway during the month of September. To enter, sign up for a library card, renew an expired card, replace a lost card, or show your library card when you check out. Multiple entries are allowed! All ages are welcome to enter. One winner will be announced at each branch (Lawrenceville and Emporia) on October 1st.
