It’s Library Card Sign Up Month!
What is LCSUM?
Grab your mask and cape and gear up for an awesome month! Starting September 1st, libraries across the country celebrate Library Card Sign Up Month, (or LCSUM) showcasing the variety of books, digital resources, and programs available at your local library for free.
Each library celebrates differently. This year, The Saline County Library is partnering with tons of local businesses to bring YOU the POWER OF THE CARD. A library card is not just a card- it’s a superpower that can help you enhance your skills, broaden your horizons, and improve your job prospects. With this card, you can access passport services, educational and entertaining programs, video games, and a treasure trove of books and audiobooks.
But in September, your superpower is superCHARGED. Businesses from all over Saline County are offering great discounts to customers. All you have to do is present your library card and you’ll unlock SUPERPOWERS! (Scroll below for the full list of participating businesses and the discounts they offer!)
So what are you waiting for? Tell your friends! SIGN UP FOR A LIBRARY CARD!
LCSUM Bingo
But wait… there’s MORE! Be a superhero and support multiple local Saline County businesses and you’ll check off squares on your BINGO CARD. For the month of September, we’ll be running a Library Card Sign Up month Bingo with prizes for 1, 2, or 3 BINGOs.
