September is Library Card Sign-Up Month! Back in 1987, Library Card Sign-Up Month began with a simple but powerful idea: every child should have a library card–and use it! That message still rings true today.
At the Solon Public Library, we believe a library card is your ticket to so much more than books. Use yours to check out puzzles, cake pans, the Iowa Adventure Pass, and more surprises you might not expect.
Sign up for a new card or renew your account this September and you’ll be entered to win a fun prize bundle! Because the Library is for everyone, every day.
