(Boone, NC) This September, Watauga County Public Library invites you to celebrate Library Card Sign-Up Month and discover how a single card can open the door to endless opportunities.
With a library card, you can do more than check out books. From free classes and job resources to homework help, streaming media, and cultural events, today’s libraries connect communities to information, inspiration, and each other. If you get your new card in September, you’ll be entered into a drawing for a chance to win tickets/free passes to High Gravity Adventures, Neighborhood Yoga, Mystery Hill, Rock Dimensions Climbing Wall, Sky Valley Zip Line, and Mysterium Escape Adventure.
This year’s theme, “One Card, Endless Possibilities,” is a reminder that libraries are for everyone—no matter your age, background, or goals. Whether you’re diving into a new hobby, searching for your next great read, brushing up on tech skills, or helping your child succeed in school, it all starts with a library card. Students who attend Watauga County Schools have a “bonus card” accessible through their lunch numbers. They may check out up to 10 books/audiobooks with no late fines .
At Watauga County Public Library, you’ll find that you have access to:
- eBooks, e-audiobooks, databases for lifelong learning and homework help, streaming video collection, business resources and more through NC Live
- Launchpads, (pre-loaded games and/or books for kids) leveled readers, decodable books, and alphabet activity backpacks. These are just a few of the specialized items available for families with kids learning to read.
- Programs and events for all ages—from storytimes and book clubs to job search support and tech help
Getting a library card is free, easy, and empowering. For students, it’s a key to academic success. For adults, it’s a gateway to lifelong learning. For everyone, it’s a smart way to stay connected to your community.
