September is Library Card Sign-up Month!

One Card Endless Possibilities Library Card Sign-up Month graphic with yellow hand

This September, the Pope County Library System invites you to celebrate Library Card Sign-Up Month and discover how a library card can open the door to endless possibilities.  In addition to books, use your Pope County Library card to check out items from our Library of Things--from literacy and science kits to big ticket items like a grill, post hole digger, or telescope.  Your library card also connects you to digital resources such as e-books, e-zines, audio books, and in-library computer access, plus free language learning materials through the Pronunciator app.
