What's cooler than being cool? Having a St. Charles Public Library card!

In September, libraries across the country celebrate Library Card Sign-Up Month.

This year, the St. Charles Public Library, 1 S. Sixth Ave., has a little help spreading the message: Joe Cool. This world-famous beagle, who most everyone knows as Snoopy, is the 2015 honorary chair of Library Card Sign-Up Month.

Visit the library during the month of September for a chance to enter the drawing for a free iPad Mini. Simply apply for a new library card, or show your current St. Charles card at the circulation or ASK ME Desk, to be eligible for a chance to win. Two winners will be chosen.

Be on the lookout for Joe Cool in the community. He will be making various appearances to spread the word about the joys of having a library card.

Library Card Signup Month is a celebration held each September during which librarians across the country remind families that a library card is the most important school supply of all. In addition to books, eBooks, magazines, CDs and DVDs, computers, games, software and other multimedia materials, a library card provides access to programs, homework assistance, resume and job search help, and online adult education courses and much more. Discover all the benefits of having a St. Charles library card.

Getting a library card is easy. Simply visit our location and provide two forms of identification (including at least one photo ID) showing your current residency within the St. Charles Public Library District. Children under 18 must have the signature of a parent or legal guardian.

The St. Charles Public Library serves approximately 56,000 residents. For more information, visit www.stcharleslibrary.org or call (630) 584-0076.
