Library cards empower students and fuel academic success.
(Hubbard, OH) – September is Library Card Sign-up Month when Hubbard Public Library joins the American Library Association (ALA) to remind parents, caregivers, and students that signing up for a library card is the first step to academic achievement and lifelong learning.
There is nothing more empowering than signing up for your library card. Through access to technology, media resources, and educational programs, a library card gives students the tools to succeed in the classroom. It provides people of all ages opportunities to pursue their dreams and passions.
At Hubbard Public Library, you'll find various educational resources and activities, including our new Hotspots, Toy Lending Library, Library of Things that includes; Sun Ovens, exercise equipment, traffic cones, Nintendo Switch, Oculus Meta Quest 2, and telescopes.
“Libraries play an important role in the education and development of children,” said Lorena Stearns, Director.
Hubbard Public Library, like libraries everywhere, continues to adapt and expand services to meet the evolving needs of our community. To sign up for a virtual library card or learn more about the library’s resources and programs, please visit www.beyond-books.org.
During September, the Hubbard Public Library will give a gift to every patron who checks out an item—a limit of one gift per person, per household.
Since 1987, Library Card Sign-up Month has been held each September to mark the beginning of the school year. During the month, the ALA and libraries unite together in a national effort to ensure every child signs up for their library card.
