WOODLAND, CA (MPG) - This September, Yolo County Library invites residents to celebrate Library Card Sign-up Month and discover the resources and services available with a library card.

With a library card, you can do more than check out books. From free classes and job resources to homework help, digital materials and cultural events, today’s libraries connect communities to information, inspiration and one another.

An initiative of the American Library Association, Library Card Sign-up Month has been held each September since 1987 to mark the beginning of the school year, support literacy and learning, and encourage communities to explore the many resources available through their libraries. Thousands of public libraries and schools nationwide take part each year.

This year’s theme, “A Library Card Hits All the Right Notes,” highlights the wide range of resources libraries offer for people of all ages and interests. Whether you are looking for a favorite book, a quiet place to study, a new skill to learn or a community program to attend, Yolo County Library has something to explore.

Yolo County Library offers books, movies, music, eBooks, internet computers, and quiet areas to work and study.

In addition to books, the library offers board games, Nature Explorer backpacks and California State Library Parks Passes; STEM2Go kits with books and hands-on materials for exploring science, technology, engineering and math; and Discovery Kits covering a range of hobbies and activities, including meditation, cake decorating and ukuleles.

The library hosts programs and events for all ages throughout the year, from storytimes and book clubs to job search support and technology help.

Getting a library card is free and easy. Library cards give students access to learning resources and give residents of all ages access to books, digital materials, programs, technology and other library services.

Throughout September, library patrons can also contribute to Community Playlists by sharing their favorite songs at each Yolo County Library branch.
