A Washoe County Library card connects you to thousands of downloadable ebooks and audiobooks, digital resources for job training, test prep and tutoring, a vast selection of print materials at 12 different library locations, and more.
Library Card Sign-up Month is held each September to mark the beginning of the school year. Since 1987 this initiative of the American Library Association has aimed to combat illiteracy and encourage communities everywhere to explore all the offerings that having a library card unlocks. Today, thousands of public libraries and schools nationwide participate in the month-long celebration each fall.
This year’s theme, “A Library Card Hits All the Right Notes,” is a reminder that libraries offer something for everyone — no matter your age, background, or goals. Whether you’re checking out a classic story or trying something new, finding harmony at a library event, finding your focus in a study room, vibing out in a cozy nook, or composing your future with new skills, there’s a seat in the front row at the library for you, and your library card is the ticket.
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. Inside the fall issue, 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.
