Lexington County, SC 09/09/2022 – September is Library Card Sign-Up Month, a time when Lexington County Public Library (LCPL) joins the American Library Association (ALA) and other libraries nationwide to remind everyone that a library card is an important tool on the path to achievement and lifelong learning.
This year’s theme is “find your voice at the library.” Through access to technology, media resources, educational programs and much more, a library card gives students the tools to succeed and provides people of all ages opportunities to pursue their dreams, and passions and become the best versions of themselves.
This year, celebrate Library Card Sign-Up Month by exploring the benefits of a library card beyond checking out books. Library card owners can stream movies and TV shows on their favorite device, visit South Carolina state parks, access DIY databases and more, all for free.
Libraries offer everything from early literacy programs to virtual homework assistance, helping transform lives through education and enrichment. At LCPL, there is a variety of resources and activities, including programs and events, extensive databases like Mango Languages and Discus’ Explora, Pebble Go and Tutor.com for elementary, middle and high schoolers.
This year, Tony Award-winning performer, actress, singer-songwriter, and philanthropist Idina Menzel (Frozen, Wicked) and her sister, author and educator Cara Mentzel, serve as honorary chairs of Library Card Sign-Up Month. Idina and Cara are excited to remind everyone that one of the best places to find your voice is at the library. During Library Card Sign-Up Month, they want everyone to explore all the library has to offer, like new children’s books, access to technology, and educational programming.
