Since 1987, Library Card Sign-up Month has been held each September to mark the beginning of the school year. During the month, libraries unite in a national effort to ensure every child signs up for their own library card.
Throughout the school year, public librarians and library staff will assist parents and caregivers with saving hundreds of dollars on educational resources and services for students. From free access to STEAM programs/activities, educational apps, in-person and virtual homework help, and technology workshops to the expertise of librarians, a library card is one of the most cost-effective back-to-school supplies available.
“A library card is an individual’s passport to learning, knowledge, and resources. The card gives access to thousands of programs, databases, and services online and in each of our 14 branch locations,” said Barry KuKes, Marketing Specialist of the Volusia County Public Library. “The card is free to Volusia County residents, and our website, www.volusialibrary.org is open 24/7.”
If you have been thinking of getting a library card, there is no better time than right now to visit your nearby branch location. For a list of branches, visit https://volusialibrary.org/VCPLbranches.html.
