Best month ever!!!!

September is Library Card Sign-Up Month! A library card gets you free books, eBooks, state park passes...and entry into a raffle? Yes, for the month of September we are having a library card sign-up contest for children ages 0-17. Those who sign up for their first Yuba County Library card between September 1st to 30th will be entered in to win a fun prize bag!

Guidelines:
đź“– This contest is only for children ages 0-17.

đź“–Only those who sign up for their first Yuba County Library card are eligible to be entered in, not those getting a replacement card.

Parents must bring in their valid photo ID (CA ID, CA driver's license, green card, or military ID) and proof of their current mailing address (something that has been through the mail or a digital bill/invoice from the last 30 days) in order to make a card for their child.
