National Library Card Sign-up Month

National Library Card Sign-up Month


One Card, Endless Possibilities


The Owatonna Public Library invites you to celebrate September as Library Card Sign-Up Month and discover all the opportunities that come with having a library card!


Your library card opens the door to so much more than books. Check out books and other materials, take free classes, explore job and career resources, get homework help, enjoy streaming media, attend cultural events, and much more. Today’s libraries connect communities with information, inspiration, learning, and one another.


Whether you’re exploring a new hobby, looking for your next great read, building your technology skills, searching for career resources, or helping your child succeed in school, it all starts with a library card.


Getting a library card is free, easy, and empowering. For students, it can be a key to academic success. For adults, it’s a gateway to lifelong learning and new opportunities. And for everyone, it’s a great way to stay connected to your community.



September is the perfect time to get your library card and discover everything your library has to offer! Lost your library card? No problem! Replacement cards are free throughout the month of September.
