<br><br><div lang="EN-US" link="blue" vlink="purple"><div><p>Want to travel the world? How about learn how to use a 3D printer? Or maybe you just want to download a new e-book to your tablet. Well you can do all that and more for free with a library card! It’s what makes a library card the most valuable card in your wallet.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p><a href="http://www.ala.org/conferencesevents/celebrationweeks/card" target="_blank">September is Library Card Sign-up Month</a> and we want to know how you use your library card to learn, explore, or even just to relax. Or maybe your library card just makes you want to shout, “Excelsior,” like our Honorary Chair for Library Card Sign-up Month and legendary comic book creator, Stan Lee. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p>Share why you value your library card using our Library Card Sign-up Month word balloons or create your own. Creativity is encouraged! Share on Facebook or Twitter using the hashtag #LibraryCardSignUp or add to our "<a href="https://www.flickr.com/groups/2739892@N22/pool/" target="_blank">My Library Card...</a>" Flickr Group between September 2-23, 2014.
