Library Card Sign-up Month

One Card, Endless Possibilities: Celebrate Library Card Sign-Up Month this September

This September, Gridley Public Library District invites you to celebrate Library Card Sign-Up Month and discover how a single card can open the door to endless opportunities.

With a library card, you can do more than check out books. From classes and job resources to homework help, streaming media, and cultural events, today’s libraries connect communities to information, inspiration, and each other.

This year’s theme, “One Card, Endless Possibilities,” is a reminder that libraries are for everyone—no matter your age, background, or goals. Whether you’re diving into a new hobby, searching for your next great read, brushing up on tech skills, or helping your child succeed in school, it all starts with a library card.

At Gridley Library you’ll find:

  • Three electronic book sources in addition to 20,000+ physical items-including books, DVDs, and magazines
  • Resource Sharing Alliance reciprocal borrowing. If we don’t have it, we can get it from a partnering library. AND your Gridley card is good at most other public libraries too!
  • Explore More Illinois Passes and EBSCO Information Databases
  • Programs and events for all ages—from Kids Nights Out and book clubs to job search support and tech help
  • Coming soon: a Makerspace with 3D printer, Cricut machine, sewing machine, and laser etching machine.

Getting a library card is free, easy, and empowering. We only need to see proof of residence within our library district (Gridley & Waldo townships) for card distribution. For youth, it’s a key to academic success. For adults, it’s a gateway to lifelong learning. For everyone, it’s a smart way to stay connected to your community.

Stop by Gridley Library to sign up for your card today. Because with a Gridley Library card, the possibilities are truly endless.
