News Release

NORTH WEBSTER — Discover a world of possibilities at the North Webster Community Public Library this September, as it celebrates Library Card Sign-up Month.

Kick off the school year on the right foot by getting your very own library card. With a NWCPL library card in hand, you’ll open the door to a treasure trove of entertainment and knowledge. Dive into a realm of books that transport you to distant lands, movies that capture your imagination or e-books you can enjoy anytime, anywhere, plus so much more.

When you sign up for a library card in September, the festivities continue. Take a spin on the wheel of surprises and win a delightful treat — it could be a restaurant coupon, a snack, a scented bookmark or one of several other fun prizes. You will also be entered into the weekly drawing for a chance to win a Neighborhood Fresh gift card.

Join in celebrating the joy of reading, learning and exploring all that the library has to offer. Let this be a September to remember with your new library card.
