September is Library Card Sign-up Month, and the public library wants to make sure that all children in Hibbing have the smartest card of all – a library card.
Public library programming and books make a difference in the lives of students. Millions of children across the U.S. rely on libraries as either their first or only choice for computer and Internet access. Libraries provide children with not only the tools to be literate, but information literate as well. There’s a lot available at the Hibbing Public Library and the best part for both children and parents – in these tough economic times - is that it’s all free with a library card.
Getting a library card is easy. Parents should bring their children into the library, fill out the registration form, and provide proof of address. Observed since 1987, Library Card Sign-up Month is a time when the American Library Association (ALA) and libraries across the country remind parents that a library card is the most important school supply of all.
