One Card, Endless Possibilities: Celebrate Library Card Sign-Up Month this September

Grand Island, Neb. — This September, the Grand Island Public Library invites the community to celebrate Library Card Sign-Up Month and discover how one library card can unlock a world of opportunity.

A library card is more than just a ticket to books. It provides access to free classes, job resources, homework help, streaming media, cultural events and so much more. Today’s libraries connect communities not only to information, but also to inspiration and to each other.

This year’s theme, “One Card, Endless Possibilities,” highlights that libraries are for everyone—regardless of age, background or goals. Whether you’re pursuing a new hobby, finding your next favorite book, improving your technology skills or supporting your child’s learning, it all begins with a library card.

At the Grand Island Public Library, cardholders enjoy access to:

  *   A creative Makerspace with programs like Adult Crafternoon, plus online resources such as Libby, Hoopla and Mango Languages. In-library databases include Ancestry for genealogy research and Alldata for auto repair.
  *   Monthly art exhibits in the library’s art alcove & a permanent in-library art collection
  *   Programs and events for every age, including baby and toddler lapsits, Bookbop, Pajamatime, preschool storytime, Teen Anime, ByGone discussions and multiple book clubs.

Getting a library card is free, easy and rewarding. Community members are encouraged to stop by the Grand Island Public Library or visit www.gilibrary.org to sign up for their card. The library’s mobile app is also available through the App Store and Google Play.
