National LIbrary Card Month- September
September is National Library Card sign up month. Now is a good time to start planning how to get the word out to the community members. They probably do not realize how many resources and programs can be found at their local library!
September is also a good time to remind parents that the library is a big help to students in their educational life. Snoopy ( from the Peanuts comic strip) is the promotional characrer this year. To learn more and get access to some promotional material ( Proclamation, graphics, ect) visit the ALA website.

Value of Public libraries in their Communities
Do most communities value their public library? Yes they do- most especially the patrons who use the library on a regular basis.
Community members agree that the materials, resources, and the technology available at the library play an important roll in giving everyone a chance to grow and succeed.
The value of the library are those unemployed and retired members use the library in finding information regarding jobs, career workshops , and other career building services ( resume, interviewing , ect) Patrons can receive assistance and the technology need for applying for government services.
Manny members still value their library because of the accessibly of the use of computers and the Internet.
Special programs of the library are also valued to many members of the community. There are children's, teens, and adult programs that patrons enjoy for entertainment and fellowship. Use of the library for information, books, media, and research assistance continues to show that the library does have an effect of the members of the community.

Community/ Family Activites
As both school and public librarians, we can participate in our schools and community's in many ways. Depending on your community, you may have and can be a part of ( that is if you are not actually running the event)- book fairs, family reading night, school fairs and carnivals, and PTO/PTA programs.
Offer to help on these programs or other activities that you have an interest in. Teachers, Staff, parents, and the community will see that you are a part of their team and want to help in other ways to promote reading and learning.
We need to become more involved in the school and community activities so that we are visiable and teachers and community can see that we are an important part of eacgh child's education.
This is just one way to become more visible in your community.
