September is National Library Card Month

Whether it’s back to school, back to work or for everyday use, having a current Library Card is a key to success in today’s world. With your Library Card you can:

• Check out e-Books
• Reserve and print Museum Passes
• Renew and place holds in your Library account
• Learn a new language
• Use Internet computers in the Library
• And, of course, check out books, movies and more

The Library will be celebrating with fun activities for everyone like “Name that ‘famous’ San Anselmo person.” Also, each time in September you visit the Library WITH your Library Card, you can fill out a ticket to enter our special “The Smartest Card” raffle.

We really want you to have a library card. San Anselmo residents with lost or missing cards can replace their card for FREE at the library during September.
