September is Library Card Sign-Up Month!
Since 1987, Library Card Sign-up Month has been held each September to mark the beginning of the school year. During the month, the American Library Association and libraries work together in a national effort to ensure every child signs up for their own library card. The Roseville Public Library joins the American Library Association (ALA) and libraries nationwide to remind everyone about the valuable resources available with a library card.
Interested in trying a new hobby? The library can help. Thinking about starting or growing a small business? The Roseville Public Library offers Gale in Context, Coursera, Fiero Code, Craftsy and so many more free resources available for library patrons.
Sign up yourself or your little ones up at the start of the school year to promote success! Access to free books, technology, educational resources and innovative programming to help succeed in school.
The Roseville Public Library, along with libraries everywhere, continues to adapt and expand services to meet the evolving needs of our community. Click here to sign up for a library card or to learn more about the library’s resources and programs.
