In tough economic times, parents might find it harder than ever to make sure their children have everything they need for school. Luckily, the most important school supply of all does not cost a thing. It's a library card.
September is Library Card Sign-up Month. A library card can give kids access to free homework help, materials to research their papers or a source for their next book report. It can also help make life after school more fun, with free access to music, DVDs, the Internet, books and more.
Of course, library cards aren't just for kids. A recent poll by the American Library Association shows that adults agree; libraries continued to experience a dramatic increase in library card registration last year. In fact, 68 percent of American adults have a library card. Now more than ever, people are turning to their libraries for reliable financial information, free computer and Internet access, and, of course, books, movies and more.
It's all free with a library card. Visit Warsaw Community Public Library and sign up for a library card-the smartest card in one's wallet. Adults (19+) who sign up for a library card in the month of September will be automatically registered for a prize drawing supplied by Giverny Fitness, a package of 10 classes and a t-shirt valued at $75.
