September is Library Card Sign-Up Month
As the school year begins and the days start to cool, September brings the perfect reminder to cozy up with a good book or discover new community resources. Every year, libraries across the country celebrate Library Card Sign-Up Month, encouraging everyone to take advantage of one of the best free tools available to families and homeowners alike.
Whether you’re settling into a new home in Solano County or have lived here for years, your library card is a gateway to knowledge, entertainment, and connection.
β¨ Benefits of a Library Card for Homeowners
1. Free Entertainment & Learning
Why pay for multiple subscriptions? With a library card, you get access to books, audiobooks, eBooks, movies, and more—perfect for cozy evenings as fall approaches.
2. Homeowner Resources
From landscaping and gardening guides π± to DIY repair books π§, libraries offer practical resources that can help you make the most of your property.
3. Back-to-School Boost
For families, libraries are an incredible support system—homework help, tutoring programs, and free online learning tools can make schoolwork a little easier.
4. Community Connection
Libraries host story times, book clubs, craft nights, and cultural events, giving you a chance to meet neighbors and feel at home in your community.
5. Digital Access Anywhere
Your card doesn’t just work at the library—it works on your phone, tablet, or computer! With apps like Libby (for eBooks and audiobooks) and Hoopla (for eBooks, audiobooks, as well as movies, TV shows, comics, and music), you can take your library with you wherever you go. Perfect for road trips, workouts, or just relaxing at home.
