September 15 – October 15 is National Hispanic Heritage Month. Stop by the library in Washington Court House to check out cookbooks, literature, DVDs, and more, highlighting Hispanic cultures of the world, their heritage, and celebrating the contributions they have made to the United States.
Also, September is Library Card Sign-up Month! Libraries support early literacy with story times and plenty of picture books, supplement a student’s education with databases and other research materials, and provide a source of lifelong learning and enjoyment with books, music, and movies for all ages and interests. From home, after school, and on the weekends, you and your student have access to a world of possibilities with a library card. Tell your neighbors, tell your friends: A library card is the smartest card!
