AUBURN, Ala.- September is Library Card Sign-up Month! Through access to technology, media resources and educational programs, a library card gives students the tools to succeed in the classroom and provides people of all ages opportunities to pursue their dreams and passions.

During September, the Auburn Public Library (APL) will host Library Card Sign-up activities, including:

Library Card Sign-up Day at APL@Boykin
Tuesday, Sept. 12, 5-6:30 p.m.

Join the APL at the Boykin Community Center (400 Boykin St.) to celebrate National Library Card Sign-up Month! Attendees may sign up for a library card and register for the Tailgates & Turkeys Fall Learning Challenge, then enjoy FREE Kona Ice, games and activities. Mayor Ron Anders will present a “Library Card Sign-up Month” proclamation. The event will conclude with a performance by the Library’s Puppet Troupe. All Boykin Community Center visitors who register for a new APL card or who possess an existing APL card may enter a prize drawing for one of two Tailgate Packages. If you can’t make it to the event, stop by any help desk at the Library (749 E. Thach Ave.) during September to enter the drawing.
