Celebrate Library Card Sign-up Month this September with the Ocean County Library

TOMS RIVER – This September, the Ocean County Library invites you to celebrate Library Card Sign-up Month and discover how a library card can hit all the right notes, no matter what your tastes are.

With a library card, you can do more than check out books. From free classes and job resources to homework help, streaming media, and cultural events, today’s libraries connect communities to information, inspiration, and each other.

This year’s theme, “A Library Card Hits All the Right Notes,” is a reminder that libraries offer something for everyone – no matter your age, background, or goals. Whether you’re checking out a classic story or trying something new, finding harmony at the library’s programs, finding your focus in a study room, vibing out in a cozy nook, or composing your future with new skills, there’s a seat in the front row at the library for you, and your library card is the ticket.

At the Ocean County Library, you will find:

·Welcoming spaces for browsing our collections, reading, studying, tutoring, gaming, web browsing, creating in our Sparks’s Lab makerspaces, and exploring in our sensory spaces.

·Free digital resources, including but not limited to free audiobooks, eBooks, movie and music streaming, database access, newspapers, and eCourses.

·Programs and events for all ages, including storytimes, crafts, book clubs, concerts, art exhibits, author talks, as well as informational programs on technology, history, culture, food, health, and professional development.

Getting a library card is free, easy, and empowering. For students, it’s a key to academic success. For adults, it’s a gateway to lifelong learning. For everyone, it’s a smart way to stay connected to your community.
