LIBRARY CARD SIGN-UP MONTH
September is Library Card Sign-Up Month: open up new worlds by using your HSPLS card to borrow books, CDs, DVDs, broadband-enabled netbook computers, e-books, and downloadable audiobooks. Access e-magazines, article databases, in-library wireless, online education courses, and much more! Most services and resources can be used for free.
If you don't have a card, drop by the library and apply for one. All you need is valid photo identification, proof of address, and a completed application. The first card is free for Hawaii residents. Three-month and five-year non-resident cards are also available for a fee.
Kids and teens (under 18) can get one too! To ensure a smooth application experience, children should be able to sign their names in the card signature block. A parent or legal guardian with current photo ID and proof of mailing address must accompany the child or teen.
Sunday Story Times will be on a break in August and start up again on September 13 at 10:30 a.m.
