Public library programming and the vast collection of books, videos and resources make a difference in the lives of people for a variety of reasons. Whether you are a student at school or a student in life, the library provides engaging programs, reading and listening choices for people from all backgrounds to become excited and enthusiastic learners.
“A library card has always been the most important school supply,” says Sheri Miller, WCL Youth Manager. “Today’s libraries are thriving community centers with technology hubs that many rely on as either their first or only choice for computer and Internet access. There’s a lot happening at the Whitman County Libraries and the best part for children, teens, parents, adults and seniors - is that it is free with a library card.”
Activities at the 14 branches of Whitman County Library during Library Card Sign-Up Month include events such as Early Learning Storytimes, author visits, exhibits, educational classes, after school programs, and more. The Friends of WCL help to promote this event by offering a chance at two $25 certificate drawings to those signing up for a new card.
Observed since 1987, Library Card Sign-Up Month is a time when the American Library Association (ALA) promotes the importance of your public library.
