SUMMARY:Library Card Sign-Up Month
DESCRIPTION:This September\, Centralia Regional Library invites you to celebrate Library Card Sign-Up Month and discover how a single card can open the door to endless opportunities. \nThis year’s theme\, “One Card\, Endless Possibilities\,” is a reminder that libraries are for everyone—no matter your age\, background\, or goals. Whether you’re diving into a new hobby\, searching for your next great read\, brushing up on tech skills\, or helping your child succeed in school\, it all starts with a library card. \nAt Centralia Regional Library\, you’ll find more than just books and DVD’s: Internet hotspots\, workshops\, job search assistance\, craft and game clubs\, author talks\, story times\, and more. \nGetting a library card is free\, easy\, and empowering. For students\, it’s a key to academic success. For adults\, it’s a gateway to lifelong learning. For everyone\, it’s a smart way to stay connected to your community. Plus\, you have access to the collections of over 500 other Illinois libraries with it! \nDuring the entire month of September\, we will be waiving all replacement library card fees and everyone who signs up for a new card\, replaces their card\, or checks their library card account at the library’s front desk will be given a gift of their choice and entered into a grand prize drawing for the end of the month.
