Celebrate Library Card Sign-Up Month

Celebrate Library Card Sign-up Month this September with the Scarsdale Public Library and the American Library Association! The Scarsdale Public Library is inviting everyone to discover the incredible resources and opportunities available at your local library by signing up for a library card.

This back to school season all Scarsdale residents are encouraged to sign up for a library card! There are no fines, and digital materials are available 24/7. Library cards provide access, connection, independence, and responsibility, and parents can sign up their children (of all ages) either in-person or online through the library website. Study rooms are available and students can reserve them ahead of time using their Scarsdale library card through the SPL website or app.

This year, we’re thrilled to have Optimus Prime from the TRANSFORMERS as the ALA’s special ambassador, highlighting that there's more than meets the eye at the library. On Tuesday, September 24, from 5- 7 pm there will be a Library Card Sign Up Month Celebration, where you can meet a 9-ft character - Bumblebee - from the Transformers while exploring library offerings and services.

Whether you're looking to enhance your skills, find valuable information, or connect with fellow avid readers, a library card unlocks a world of possibilities.

Today’s libraries are vibrant community centers offering books and more! At the library you'll find diverse programs, job search assistance, homework help, book clubs, author talks, storytimes, and more.

Curious about exploring a new hobby or learning a new language? Scarsdale library card holders have access to Craft & Hobby and Mango Languages. Interested in starting or growing a small business? We provide poster printing, color printing, faxing and scanning services, in addition to books and digital databases. Scarsdale Library cardholders also have access to our Makerspace and Maker 101 programs, including Cricut design, 3D printing, sewing and embroidery programs.

During the school year, teens can join the Teen Advisory Board to earn service hours and share their interests and talents with their community. For those who are not yet in school, the Scarsdale Public Library offers a 1000 Books Before Kindergarten program to encourage literacy from birth and up.
