Library Card Sign-Up Month

Sign up for a library card at the Boulder Junction Public Library or any Northern Waters Library Network location during the month of September
and you could win a $50 prize!

Whether you’re upgrading your skills, scouting for knowledge and information, or connecting with other readers, a library card is your key to an arsenal of resources. With a library card from the Boulder Junction Public Library or anywhere in the Northern Waters Library Network (NWLN), you have access to thousands of items shared by NWLN’s 30 libraries that include print and digital materials, online classes and resources, and equipment like sewing machines and snowshoes!

September is National Library Card Sign-Up Month so it’s the perfect time to get a library card if you don’t already have one! Sign up for a library card at the Boulder Junction Public Library or any NWLN library from September 1-30, or self-register for an e-card, and you’ll be automatically entered into a prize drawing for a $50 Visa gift card! Already a NWLN cardholder? You can enter the drawing by telling us why you love your library! Submit your library story online here, or look for a paper submission form at your local library.

The observance of Library Card Sign-Up Month was launched in 1987 to meet the challenge of then Secretary of Education William Bennett who said: “Let’s have a national campaign…every child should obtain a library card – and use it.” Since then, thousands of public and school libraries join each fall in a national effort to ensure every child has access to one of the most unique institutions in our democracy: the library.
