CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – Since 1987, Library Card Sign-up Month has been held each September to mark the beginning of the school year. During the month, the American Library Association and libraries join together in a national effort to ensure every child signs up for their own library card.
The Clarksville-Montgomery County Public Library is encouraging all Montgomery County residents without library cards to sign up for one. With a library card, residents will have access to thousands of books, e-books, audiobooks, DVDs, CDs, and even Wi-Fi hotspots.
To sign up, visit the circulation desk on the first floor of the library (350 Pageant Lane) with photo identification and proof of Montgomery County residency.
To celebrate Library Card Sign-up Month, the library is hosting a library card design contest. All ages are welcome to participate, and the winning design will be featured on a future library card. Templates for hand-drawn submissions can be picked up at all public service desks in the library.
If you would like to submit a digital design or would like any further details, please email marketing@clarksville.org. Submissions are due by Saturday, September 30.
