WEAKLEY COUNTY LIBRARY BOARD MINUTES
2020-2021 FY
Library card sign up month
Marley Dias, author, executive producer, and founder of #1000BlackGirlBooks, is joining the American Library Association and libraries nationwide in promoting the power of a library card this September.
As honorary chair, Dias wants to remind the public that signing up for a library card provides access to technology, multimedia content and educational programming that transforms lives and strengthens communities. “A library card provides opportunity for discovery and access to a rich and diverse world. It empowers you to make change and experience new stories," said Dias.
Visit your library online or in-person to see what's new and take part in the celebration.
Anyone updating an existing card or applying for a new card will receive a Bingo Card to fill out and be eligible for a $50 Books A Million gift card in the drawing on Oct. 1
