September Is National Library Card Sign-up Month

What’s the best way to prepare children for school year?  Make sure they have a library card! A library card gives access to e-books, online homework help and other tools they need to succeed.  September is Library Card Sign-up Month. Sign up for a library card (or just check out a book) at Perrot's Youth Services Desk this month and you will receive a sweet treat!
