Sign Up For A Card At Nutley Library: Giveaways, Fee Waived

NUTLEY, NJ — The following news release comes courtesy of the Nutley Public Library. Find out how to post announcements or events to your local Patch site.

September is Library Card Sign-Up Month, a time when the Nutley Public Library joins the American Library Association (ALA) and libraries nationwide to remind parents, caregivers and students that signing up for a library card is the first step on the path to academic achievement and lifelong learning, and the perfect start to the beginning of a new school year.

Throughout the month of September, children and teens that sign-up for a library card will receive a special goodie bag, and the fee to replace a library card will be waived. From September 16 through September 30, Nutley students’ ages 18 years and younger can have their fines forgiven. Fine forgiveness is only for Nutley items and does not apply to replacement costs.

On Saturday, September 16 at 10:30 AM, the Children's Room will present Local Author Story Time with Theresa Del Vecchio. Theresa will read her picture book Apple Pies and Hayrides, with book sale and signing, craft and activities to follow. Children can also enjoy a sweet treat from Mike Perrone "The Good Humor Man" and his ice cream cart, and take a picture with our photo backdrop. This event is sponsored by the Friends of the Nutley Public Library and is open to all ages. No registration required.

The Nutley Public Library will recognize National Library Card Sign-Up Month with special events, giveaways, and unique displays all month long. In addition to the regularly scheduled programs and activities that have been planned, special programs for kids and adults will begin on Thursday, September 7 at 7 pm with Let’s Decoupage! a new crafting series for adults. On Saturday, September 9 at 2 pm, Wish Upon a Star, a concert with pianist and vocalist Jay Daniels will feature songs from your favorite animated films, a fun musical event for kids of all ages.
