AUBURN —
September is Library Card Sign-up Month. Through access to technology, media resources and educational programs, a library card gives students the tools to succeed in the classroom and provides people of all ages opportunities to pursue their dreams and passions.
During September, the Auburn Public Library (APL) will host Library Card Sign-up activities, including:
Library Card Sign-up Day at APL at the Boykin Community Center, located at 400 Boykin St., in Auburn, Tuesday, Sept. 12, from 5 to 6:30 p.m.
Attendees may sign up for a library card and register for the Tailgates & Turkeys Fall Learning Challenge, then enjoy free Kona Ice, games and activities. Auburn Mayor Ron Anders will present a “Library Card Sign-up Month” proclamation. The event will conclude with a performance by the Library’s Puppet Troupe. All Boykin Community Center visitors who register for a new APL card or who possess an existing APL card may enter a prize drawing for one of two tailgate packages. Those unable to attend the event, may stop by any help desk at the library (749 E. Thach Ave.) during September to enter the drawing.
TAILGATES & TURKEYS FALL READING CHALLENGE
The challenge: Read 1,000 minutes from Sept. 1 through Oct. 31 to earn your choice of an APL T-shirt or hoodie (while supplies last). Register for the challenge by downloading the Beanstack Tracker app to any smartphone or tablet or by visiting auburnpl.beanstack.org.
The Auburn Public Library continues to adapt and expand services to meet the evolving needs of our community. To sign up for a library card or to learn more about the library’s resources and programs, visit auburnalabama.org/library.
