Russellville, Arkansas: This September, the Pope County Library System invites you to celebrate Library Card Sign-Up Month and discover how a single card can open the door to endless opportunities. In addition to books, use your Pope County Library card to check out items from our Library of Things--from literacy and science kits to big ticket items like a grill, post hole digger, or telescope. Your library card also connects you to digital resources such as e-books, e-zines, audio books, and in-library computer access, plus free language learning materials through the Pronunciator app.
This year’s theme, “One Card, Endless Possibilities,” is a reminder that libraries are for everyone—no matter your age, background, or goals. Whether you're diving into a new hobby, searching for your next great read, brushing up on tech skills, 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’s a key to academic success. For adults, it’s a gateway to lifelong learning. For everyone, it’s a smart way to stay connected to your community. As an added incentive to participate, the first forty patrons to sign up for a library card this month at each of our libraries will receive a mini-swag bag.
Join us throughout September for special Library Card Sign-Up Month activities, including these events at the Pope County Library, 116 E. 3rd Street, Russellville:
