West Florida Public Libraries will offer a special edition library card in honor of Library Card Sign-up Month, beginning Tuesday, Sept. 1 at all West Florida Public Libraries locations.
This year, DC’s Wonder Woman is embarking on a mission to champion the power of a library card as Library Card Sign-up Month Honorary Chair. In her new role, Wonder Woman will promote the value of libraries and encourage everyone to get their very own library card.
Signing up for a library card opens a world of infinite possibilities: libraries offer resources and services that help people pursue their passions and give students the tools to succeed in school and beyond.
While library cards are always free for Escambia County residents, the usual $3 replacement fee for lost or damaged cards will be waived during the month of September, as part of the celebration.
Escambia County residents can find information about getting a library card or sign up at mywfpl.com/borrow/card.
Since 1987, Library Card Sign-up Month has been held each September to mark the beginning of the school year. During the month, the American Libraries Association and libraries unite together in a national effort to ensure every child signs up for their own library card.
