September: Library Card Sign-Up Month, all cards are free
The Davidson County Public Library System will observe National Library Card Sign-Up Month during September. As part of the celebration, patrons with lost or damaged cards can replace them for free.
The characters Ember and Wade from Disney and Pixar’s movie Elemental are serving as the spokespersons for this year’s National Library Card Sign-up Month. The month’s emphasis coincides with the start of the traditional school year as a reminder that a library card provides an assortment of physical and electronic resources that help students learn.
A library card is not only the key to accessing the physical collections of the library, including books, audiobooks, magazines, DVDs, and Blu-Rays, but also provides access to invaluable digital resources that support every stage of life. In addition to resources, all Davidson County Public Libraries offer engaging programming for people of all ages. Examples include story times, crafts, book clubs, and so much more.
“Davidson County Public Library has something for everyone from beginning readers to lifelong learners. As the new school year starts, make sure the student in your family has a library card, an essential school supply,” said Sheila Killebrew, Library Director.
Davidson County Public Library is comprised of 5 branches located in Lexington, Thomasville, North Davidson, Denton, and West Davidson in addition to the Davidson County Historical Museum and a system-wide bookmobile.
