September is Library Card Sign-up Month, a time when the Ogden Farmers’ Library joins with public libraries nationwide to make sure that every patron has the most important card of all – a free library card.
Resources at the Ogden Farmers’ Library are available to anyone who has a library card. Students and adults can turn to the library for materials, programs and knowledgeable library staff. Today’s libraries aren’t only a place of quiet study, but also creative and engaging community centers where anyone can use new technology, or just relax with peers. The Ogden Farmers’ Library offers access to a variety of print and digital resources, including resources that patrons can access with a library card, such as e-books, online catalog searching and placing items on hold. It also provides a variety of programs to patrons of all ages. Throughout the course of the month, the library will host a number of activities, including:
•A raffle for adults and children who register for a new library card. Prizes include gift baskets for winners; two adults and two children, chosen at the end of the month.
•Check out books with a library card and choose one item from a basket of small goodies.
•In order to encourage more people to sign up for a library card, librarians will travel through town during each Monday in September. Individuals will be asked to “show me your library card.” Those that come up with a card will receive a prize.
