📣 Did you know? September is National Library Card Sign-up Month! No matter what your tastes are, a library card hits all the right notes. 🎶 🎵

Check out a classic story or hit shuffle and try something new. Find harmony at a book club, movie matinee, class, or talk. A headphone kind of day? Find your focus in a study room or cozy nook. No matter what rhythm you find yourself in, there’s a seat in the front row at the library for you.

Plus, your Monmouth County Library card unlocks free access to museum passes, research databases, news site, ebooks, audiobooks, online movies, and much more. Stop by your local branch this week to learn more or sign-up for a card!
