It’s September. That means it’s National Library Card Sign-Up month!
You can do a lot with your library card. In addition to checking out books and movies it gives you access to:
- Downloadable eBooks, audiobooks, magazines, video, and music – Use your eReader, tablet, smartphone or computer to download eBooks, audiobooks, music, video and digital magazines anywhere you have an internet connection.
- Premium Online Resources – We subscribe to several databases and learning tools like Consumer Reports, Rosetta Stone, Chilton’s, ValueLine, Heritage Quest and much more.
- Homework Help – In addition to our awesome staff who are fantastic at helping with homework questions in person, on the phone and online, we have lots of online tools to help with homework. Some are live online help from a teacher, World Book Online and lots of other trusted, citable sources in our premium online resources.
- Programs For All Ages – We have something for everyone from babies to seniors; story times, crafts, teen advisory boards, book discussions, computer classes, author showcases and much more.
- Community Space for Meeting, Learning, and Relaxing – We offer meeting, conference and study rooms, comfortable spaces to read and relax, computers, and early literacy activity centers for children.
Library cards are free for Henrico County residents. Many non-residents qualify for a free card too! And in September, we are waiving the cost of replacing lost or damaged cards!
