September is Library Card Sign-up Month, a time when Marshes of Glynn Libraries joins libraries throughout Georgia and the country to remind everyone about the valuable resources available with a free public library card.

From borrowing books, ebooks, and audiobooks to getting homework help, learning new skills, or attending a book club or story time, a library card helps everyone do more of what they enjoy while saving money.

There’s something for everyone at the Marshes of Glynn Libraries, and signing up for a library card is the first step on the path to academic achievement and lifelong learning for students.

Elected officials, small business owners, students, and the public depend upon libraries and the resources they offer to meet local needs. Libraries and librarians are leading in their communities by providing free resources such as eRead Kids for students in pre-K to 4th grade; technology courses; access to the virtual library GALILEO for historical documents, language courses, GED test prep, and more; and job skills workshops such as Entrepreneurial Mindset training.

The Marshes of Glynn Libraries, along with libraries everywhere, continue to adapt and expand services to meet the evolving needs of our community. To sign up for a library card or to learn more about the library’s resources and programs, please visit https://moglibraries.org/library-cards/.

Since 1987, Library Card Sign-up Month has been held each September to mark the beginning of the school year. During the month, the libraries work together in a national effort to ensure every child signs up for their own library card.
