September is National Library Card Sign-up Month

September 10, 2026 - September is National Library Card Sign-up Month. Since 1987, the American Library Association has used this month to remind the public how important libraries are. For families, students, and communities, having a library card is the single most valuable free resource in this country.

The community library is a free, relaxing, safe space where you can rest, read, research, and renew your mind. You don’t have to buy anything. There is no yearly membership fee. It is one of the last places you can just be you, free of charge.
