September is Library Card Sign Up Month

Library Director Sandra Pointon encourages all residents of the Lemont Public Library District to sign up for a free library card.

A library card offers patrons a world of education, exploration and entertainment, Pointon said. Books, free programs for all ages, ebooks and ereaders, audiobooks, electronic databases, computer classes, and free Internet access are among the variety of resources open to residents at their library.

“If you don’t have a library card yet, now is the time to get one,” said Pointon. “It’s a great deal, especially during September, which is Library Card Sign-up Month.”  

Anyone who receives a new library card or renews his or her card in September will be entered into a drawing for Chicago Bears-themed prizes for kids, teens and adults.

Signing up for a library card is easy and free. Bring proof of residency in the Lemont Public Library District (driver’s license with current address or utility bill) to the Circulation Desk at 50 E. Wend Street, Lemont, to apply for a card today.
