Library heads into fall with activities and programs for all

September is Library Card Sign Up Month.  Did you know that your library card can be used for more than just checking out materials?  You can also use it to:

• Sign in to use the computers,
• Access our eBook programs, like Axis360 and TumbleBooks,
• Access the many searchable databases offered through MLC or our library, and
• Log into your library account to control things like reserves, renewals, updates to your information, and so much more.

If you need to replace a lost card, there is a fee of $2 to do so.  Library cards issued to patrons for the first time are free of charge.

Books by Hispanic authors and illustrators will be on display during the month in honor of Hispanic Heritage month (September 15 – October 15). 

Family Movie Day will be held again on Saturday, September 16, at 10 a.m. 

The book sale will continue through September on Saturdays beginning at 9 a.m.  Prices are ten cents each for magazines, twenty-five cents each for paperbacks, and fifty cents each for hardbacks, audiobooks and movies.

The library will be closed from Saturday, September 2, through Monday, September 4, for the Labor Day Holiday. 

The Friends of the Long Beach Public Library will meet on the following Monday, September 11, at 1 p.m. in the children’s wing for the first meeting of the year.  This meeting is open to the public. 

The Long Beach Library Board of Trustees will not meet in September.

Coming up in October, educators from the Infinity Science Center will present an aeronautics program geared towards kindergarten through twelfth grade entitled “NASA Is with You when You Fly.”  This hands -on-learning STEM program is about rocketry and flight and will be held on Saturday, October 7, from 10 a.m. until noon at the library.  It is free to the public to attend.

For more information about any of our events or offerings, please give us a call at 228-863-0711.
