September is Library Card Sign-Up Month

by | Sep 3, 2025

Are you looking for new books to read? For free? Or how about a local Story Time to help your preschooler prepare for their first day of school? Are you interested in free skill-building for the future with digital resources like JobNow, LearningExpress Library, and LinkedIn Learning? What about catching up on the latest news from publications like the Reno Gazette-Journal and the New York Times? A Washoe County Library card connects you to all these free resources and more! 

This September, Washoe County 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 and cultural events, today’s libraries connect communities in myriad ways. 

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. 

Stop by one of Washoe County Library’s 12 branches to register or renew your card today! While you’re there, be sure to pick up a copy of the Washoe County Library Explorer, the library’s events and resources magazine. The Fall issue features our first illustrated cover, created by Emily at the Spanish Springs Library. Inside, you’ll find updates on everything from the latest library news to special events like TeenTober, Banned Books Week, and the Spellbinders magic shows. A digital version of the Explorer is available for download at washoelibrary.org/explorer.  

To sign up for a library card, or to learn more about the library’s resources and programs, please visit any Washoe County Library location or apply online today. For more information, visit washoecountylibrary.us
