JOIN THE BOCA RATON PUBLIC LIBRARY FOR LIBRARY CARD SIGN-UP MONTH IN SEPTEMBER (Boca Raton, FL) — September is Library Card Sign-up Month! The Boca Raton Public Library joins the American Library Association and public libraries nationwide to encourage all members of the community to sign up for the most important card of all — a free library card. This year’s honorary chair is the beloved Peanuts character, Snoopy, who says there’s no cooler card than the library card. With a library card, members get 365/24/7 access to the library online for downloading popular magazine and bestseller titles, streaming movies and music, and researching information for work or school. Cardholders also receive priority registration for many library classes and special programs. For families, library cards open the door to learning. “The Boca Raton Public Library provides educational opportunities for students of all ages,” says Ann Nappa, Library Manager. “For infants to preschool-age children, we offer early literacy classes to encourage school readiness. For older children and teens, we supplement school curriculums with hands-on programs, classic and contemporary books, and online databases. For older teens, we have information and tools to help prepare for college and employment. For adults, we have a variety of instructional classes and interactive discussion groups. There’s something for everyone, and it’s all free with a library card.” As a special promotion during Library Card Sign-up Month, new cardholders who register in September will be eligible to win a free Tomasso’s pizza or a grand prize of 4 tickets to see Snoopy’s big-screen debut this fall in The Peanuts Movie, donated by Friends of the Boca Raton Public Library.
