September is Library Card Sign-up Month

How Do You Library? Tell Us for the Chance to Win.

September is Library Card Sign-up Month, and we want to celebrate the value of libraries with all of you! Show some love on social media by sharing how you make the most of your library card. Do you love the library’s summer reading program, story time, or book club? Checking out DVDs, magazines, or audiobooks? Do you simply enjoy getting lost in the magic of a good book?
We want to know how YOU library!

Participating is easy:

• Snap a pic or shoot a video showcasing what you love about the library or choose a library element that best applies to you.
• Post to Instagram, X, or on the I Love Libraries Facebook page with the hashtag #HowILibrary.
• Tag your library and your friends to help spread the word!

What’s in it for you? In addition to the appreciation of supporting libraries, there’s also a chance to win great prizes. One randomly selected winner will receive a $150 gift card, and three second-place winners will receive a poster of their choice from the ALA Store.

So, let’s see those book stacks, creative reading spots, and all the adventures that libraries take you on! If you don’t have a photo to share, check out the Library Elements graphics at ilovelibraries.org.

Join the #HowILibrary movement, and let’s make this the best Library Card Sign-up Month ever!
