September 9, 2022 - What's in your wallet?

Labor Day weekend has come and gone. Now we are well in to "National Library Card Sign Up" month. National Library Card Sign Up month provides an opportunity for all public libraries to remind parents, caregivers and students to get the school year off to the best possible start by signing up for a library card. A library card can be the first step on the path to academic achievement and lifelong learning. This year, Governor Evers not only promoted "National Library Card Sign-Up month by issuing a proclamation, he also established September 6 as "National Read a Book Day" throughout the state of Wisconsin. Sadly, we have already rolled past September 6th, but as stalwart library users, you all know that any day can be a "Read a Book Day" not matter what state or nation you happen to be reading in. My question for everyone I meet during this month is "What's in your wallet?" so I will ask you, Gentle Reader, that same question. "What's in your wallet (or on your key chain)? If you don't have a library card, now's the time to get one. If you do have a library, now's the time to show it proudly at some of our local business partners (checkout our website or on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter) and receive a discount! Or come into the library and use your card to checkout some of the exciting new titles listed below. Enjoy!
