Library Card Sign-Up Month

By by Betsy D. Jeansonne September 14, 2021

September is Library Card Sign-Up month and now is a great time to get your library cards. Did you know that your library card allows you to not only borrow books, it also allows you to borrow wifi devices, laptops, DVD’s, and CD’s? Our parish libraries offer a wealth of resources for kids of all ages, from toddlers, to teens, to college students. Now that kids are back-to-school, bringing them to the library to get their library cards is a great way to encourage reading and helps foster responsibility at a young age.  

With your library card, you also have access to ebooks, audiobooks, music, movies, and homework help. Several branches in the Rapides Parish Library System offer Grab-N-Go craft kits, Makerspace events, monthly exhibits, virtual cooking classes, educational and streaming resources, storytime read-a-louds and so much more! 

Stay tuned for new events hosted by Avoyelles Parish Libraries next month! To see a list of events hosted by your local library in September, head over to our monthly calendar: https://centrallouisiana.macaronikid.com/events/calendar
