September is Library Card Sign-up Month, a time when Lexington County Public Library (LCPL) joins the American Library Association (ALA) and other libraries nationwide to remind parents, caregivers and students a library card is an important tool on the path to academic achievement and lifelong learning. <\/p>\n
Through access to technology, media resources, educational programs and much more, a library card gives students the tools to succeed in the classroom and provides people of all ages opportunities to purse their dreams and passions. <\/p>\n
Libraries offer everything from early literacy programs to virtual homework assistance, helping transform lives and communities through education. At LCPL, you’ll find a variety of educational resources and activities, including online programs on Facebook and YouTube and extensive databases like Mango Languages, BrainPOP Jr. and Explora for elementary, middle and high schoolers. <\/p>\n
LCPL continues to adapt and expand services to meet the evolving needs of our community. All 10 of the branches are now open for limited in-person services: <\/p>\n
• New library card or transitioning from a temporary card
• Browsing of new materials displays (books and DVD’s)
• Computer use by appointment only (limited to one hour of use per patron)
• Use of self-checkout
• Mobile printing
• Self-service copier will be available with limited staff assistance
• In-building pick up and check out of items placed on hold<\/p>\n
Call your local branch or visit lexcolibrary.com\/locations for current hours of service.
Patrons are required to have temperature taken upon entering and wear a mask at all times while inside of a library facility, and masks should fully cover the nose and mouth. All LCPL buildings are adhering to occupancy limits, so you may experience a wait before entering a branch. Patrons should limit time in the building to allow more patrons to have an opportunity to use the library. <\/p>\n
This year, DC’s Wonder Woman is embarking on a mission as Library Card Sign-up Month Honorary Chair, promoting the value of libraries and encouraging everyone to get their very own library card. <\/p>\n
