Reading Pays: Sign-up for a Library Card this September

TOPICS:Library Card Sign-up MonthWalbridge BranchWCDPL BookmobileWood County Disrict Public Library

Posted By: Julie Carle September 1, 2023

From WOOD COUNTY DISTRICT PUBLIC LIBRARY

Treat yourself to free books, magazines, movies and more: sign up for a library card. From borrowing books, eBooks, and audiobooks to getting homework help, learning new skills, or attending a book club or storytime, your library card helps you do more of what you love.

September is National Library Card Sign-up Month, and the Wood County District Public Library wants you to get your very own library card. Now through Sept. 30, the library is holding a raffle for a $250 gift card. To be entered for a chance to win, stop by the Bowling Green Library, Walbridge Library, or the WCDPL Bookmobile to sign up for a WCDPL library card.

A library card is a perfect way to discover, create, learn, and explore by checking out books, movies, music, and more, by browsing at the library, or by placing items on hold for curbside pickup. With your library card, you can:

  • Access WCDPL OverDrive for the latest eBooks and audiobooks.
  • Get movies, music, magazines, picture books, and more instantly using Hoopla, Flipster, and Tumblebooks.
  • Explore children’s book recommendations, STEAM kits, and more from our Children’s Place.
  • Browse adult reading recommendations, get technology help, and more from our Information Services librarians.
  • Discover the items in our Library of Things, which includes giant games, technology items and gadgets.
  • Refer to research databases, including our Local History Collection and genealogy database.
  • Join in on a variety of programs that the whole family will enjoy.

Getting your library card is easy. Visit the WCDPL website at wcdpl.org/library-card-information to learn how.
