September is Library Card Sign-up Month, a time whenthe American Library Association (ALA) and libraries across the country remindparents and caregivers that a library card is the smartest card your can own.

Students can access free databases, online homeworkhelp and attend programs, activities and clubs that provide an added value tothe educational experience.
