Since 1987, Library Card Signup Month has been held each September to mark the beginning of the school year. Whether you’re upgrading your skills, scouting for knowledge and information, or connecting with other heroic readers, a library card is your key to an arsenal of resources. This month, join Snoopy and the Beagle Scouts with themed events and a limited edition library card.
Celebrate everyone’s favorite beagle by getting a limited-edition Snoopy library card! Available for new cardholders only.
