This September, Wilkes 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.
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.
At Wilkes County Public Library, you’ll find eBooks, databases, hotspots, business resources, and more. A variety of programs and events for all ages are also offered—from storytimes and book clubs to job search support and tech help.
Obtaining a library card is free, simple, and empowering. For students, it serves as a key to academic success. For adults, it opens doors to lifelong learning. For everyone, it is a smart way to remain connected to the community. Sign up for a library card this September, and you’ll get a special treat along with a free book. Let's read and have fun!
Join us throughout September for special Library Card Sign-Up Month activities, including:
