September is Library Card Sign-up Month, and Wright Library wants to make sure that your child has the smartest card of all – a library card.
Studies show that children who are read to in the home and who use the library perform better in school and are more likely to continue to use the library as a source of lifelong learning.
To receive a library card for your child, the parent needs to show a photo ID with a current address, such as a driver’s license. If your ID does not have your current address, you may use a photo ID along with another proof of current address such as a recent utility bill. Anyone living in state of Ohio is eligible for a Wright Library card.
This year, students at Harman and Smith Elementary Schools who do not already have a Wright Library card can sign up for one and help their class win a pizza party at the Library! Each child will receive an application form at school. Students, along with a parent, can drop off the application at the Library. Once the student has a card number, write the number on the attached bookmark and submit it to the student’s teacher by the end of September. Students who already have a library card can just submit the bookmark with their library card number.
The class that has the most kids with library cards will be invited to Wright Library for a pizza party! For more information, please contact the Youth Services Department at 294-7171.
