📚 SEPTEMBER IS LIBRARY CARD SIGN-UP MONTH — AND WE’RE BRINGING BACK AN ICON!

Do you remember those famous READ posters hanging in libraries and schools?

First launched by the American Library Association in 1985, the iconic READ campaign featured celebrities, musicians, athletes, and beloved characters posing with a favorite book—all with one BIG message:

**READ.**

This September, we’re putting our own Paulding County Carnegie Library spin on this library classic by featuring some familiar faces from our libraries!

And kicking off our READ Poster series is **Stephanie McCullough, Library Clerk at the Antwerp Branch Library!**

Stephanie loves sharing the joy of books with our youngest readers, so we couldn’t think of a better person to help us start celebrating **Library Card Sign-Up Month.**

Throughout September, watch for more familiar library faces and our very own versions of the nostalgic READ posters!

And while you’re here… **do you have your library card?**

September is the perfect month to stop into the Paulding County Carnegie Library or one of our branches and discover just how much one little card can give you.

**GET THE CARD. OPEN THE DOOR. READ.** 📚
