National Library Card Sign Up Month

September is the month we like to focus on one of our favorite things: Library Cards!



For checking out books, games, Libby, and DVDs your library card holds the key.

Remember to stop by yearly to renew your library card!


To sign up for a library card you would need to bring a Kentucky ID with an up-to-date address (or a piece of mail with your name & current address).

Minors will need to have their accounts linked to a responsible parent or guardian's account.

Seasons Change and Library Displays Rearrange

With Autumn just around the corner, it is the perfect time to get to the bottom of the ever growing To-Be-Read pile lying around. Check out library book displays of new and staff recommended books for inspiration.

"Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall."
