Library Card

In tough economic times, parents might find it harder than ever to make sure their children have everything they need for school.
September is Library Card Sign-up Month. Libraries support literacy education by providing teaching resources, space for tutoring, and information and referral services, as well as with free access to music, DVDs, the Internet, books and more. By motivating children to read, librarians create lifelong readers, and that makes for better citizens, and that makes for a healthier democracy.
Of course, library cards aren’t just for kids. Studies show that the importance of libraries in American life has continued to grow in 2012 as people look for sources of cost-effective help in a time of economic crisis. In fact, two-thirds of American adults have a library card. Now more than ever, Americans turn to – and depend on – their libraries and librarians for financial information, computer and Internet access, and, of course, books, movies and more. It’s all free with a library card.
Adults 19+, use your personal library card to check out items during September and become eligible to enter a drawing for a “Live Well in the Moment” gift basket furnished by Kosciusko County Visitor’s Bureau and its business partners. The basket, valued at more than $200, includes an overnight hotel package and dinner for two. Winners will be drawn Monday, Oct. 1.
