It’s National Library Card Sign-Up Month, and we’re celebrating with a brand-new QACL library card design! 🎉

Ready to get your own? Stop by any QACL branch this September to sign up for a library card and bring the library home with you.

📚☀️ What a summer!

We had a fantastic Summer Reading season, with more than 3,000 community members participating! 🎉

Throughout the summer, we hosted 193 programs with 5,521 attendees filling our branches and our community with stories, creativity, learning, and plenty of fun.

Thank you to our Summer Reading sponsors; our business sponsors helped provide tote bags for our adult Summer Reading prizes and the Friends of Queen Anne’s County Library provided funding for youth Summer Reading T-shirts, as well as adult and teen prize books.

And, of course, a huge THANK YOU to everyone who participated, attended programs, and helped spread the word. You helped make this year’s Summer Reading program one of our most successful yet!

Thank you for making our summer so memorable!
