Celebrate Library Card Sign-up Month at Seekonk Library

Seekonk, MA – September is Library Card Sign-up Month, when libraries nationwide join the American Library Association (ALA) to remind everyone that signing up for a library card is the first step on the path to academic achievement and lifelong learning.

Libraries play a crucial role in education and development, offering a variety of programs to spark creativity and stimulate an interest in reading and learning. Through access to technology, media resources and educational programs, a library card gives students the tools to succeed in the classroom and provides people of all ages opportunities to pursue their dreams, explore new passions and interests, and find their voice.

This year, Tony Award-winning performer, actress, singer-songwriter, and philanthropist Idina Menzel (Frozen, Wicked) and her sister, author and educator Cara Mentzel, will serve as honorary chairs of Library Card Sign-Up Month. Idina and Cara are excited to remind everyone that one of the best places to find your voice is at the library. During Library Card Sign-Up Month, they want us to explore all the library has to offer, like new children’s books, access to technology, and educational programming.

Seekonk Public Library, along with libraries everywhere, continues to adapt and expand services to meet the evolving community needs. To learn more about the library’s resources and programs, please visit us in person or online at www.seekonkpl.org
