September is Library Card Sign-up Month, a time when Boulder Community Library joins libraries nationwide to remind everyone about the valuable resources available with a library card.
From borrowing books, ebooks, and audiobooks to learning new skills, or attending a book club or story hour, a library card helps everyone do more of what they enjoy. All without stretching their budget.
Interested in trying a new hobby? The library can help. Thinking about starting or growing a small business? Boulder Community Library offers resources in house and master classes online to assist with the process.
There’s something for everyone at Boulder Community Library, and signing up for a library card is the first step on the path to academic achievement and lifelong learning for students. It’s elemental, really—everyone should have one!
The Boulder Community Library, along with libraries everywhere, continues to adapt and expand services to meet the evolving needs of our community. To sign up for a free library card or to learn more about the library’s resources and programs, visit the library at 202 South Main Street or call 225-3241 for more information.
