September is National Library Card Sign-Up Month! This year the American Library Association is teaming up with Marley Dias, executive producer and founder of #1000BlackGirlBooks, in promoting the power of a library card. Celebrate by getting your very own library card and encouraging your friends and family to discover the benefits of a library card.

Through access to technology, media resources and educational programs, a library card gives students the tools to succeed in the classroom and provides people of all ages opportunities to pursue their dreams and passions.

We offer everything from early literacy programs to virtual homework help and continuing education prep, helping transform lives and communities through education. At the Cozby Library and Community Commons, you’ll find a wide variety of educational resources and activities, including storytimes, the Meet Your Neighbor series, and take-and-make crafts.

There is nothing more empowering than getting your own library card. It gives you access to technology, resources, and services to pursue your passions and dreams.

Library cards are free for residents, Coppell business owners, Coppell ISD students/staff, and Coppell city employees.
