September is Library Card Sign-Up Month, and there's no better time to introduce your family to the wonderful world of books, learning, and community activities. A library card not only gives your child access to countless books, but it also opens doors to exciting educational opportunities that help kids thrive in school. Reading outside the classroom boosts vocabulary, comprehension, and critical thinking skills, all of which contribute to academic success.
Local libraries like the Metropolitan Library, the Cascade Branch and Dogwood Library make signing up for a library card a breeze. Not only can you get your little ones their very own card, but you can also enjoy weekly events and activities that cater to all ages. These libraries offer much more than just books — they’re hubs for fun and learning, with programs designed to engage the entire family.
Why Reading is Important
Reading beyond the classroom is a great way to build skills that last a lifetime. Encouraging your kids to explore new books helps foster creativity, sharpens critical thinking, and enhances academic performance. With a library card, your child can enjoy a variety of books, join reading programs, or even borrow eBooks from the comfort of home.
What’s Happening at the Library the Rest of This Month?
Here’s a look at some exciting events you and your family can check out at libraries like Metropolitan and Dogwood:
- Baby Sign Language: Introduce your little ones to the basics of sign language while bonding through fun and interactive sessions.
- Teen Book Club: Teens can join the conversation about their favorite books, exploring new genres and making friends along the way.
- Yoga for Kids: Help your kids stretch, move, and relax while learning the basics of yoga, promoting both physical and mental well-being.
- Kid-Preneurship Workshops: If your child has a knack for business, these workshops are a great way to nurture their entrepreneurial spirit.
