Library Card Sign-Up
September is Library Card Sign-up Month!
(ISHPEMING, MI) – This September, the Ishpeming Carnegie Public Library invites you to celebrate Library Card Sign-Up Month and discover how a single card can open the door to endless opportunities. Today’s libraries connect communities to information, inspiration, and each other. This year’s theme, “One Card, Endless Possibilities,” is a reminder that libraries are for everyone—no matter your age, background, or goals. Whether you’re diving into a new hobby, searching for your next great read, brushing up on tech skills, or helping your child succeed in school, it all starts with a library card. Getting a library card is free, easy, and empowering.
Library cards for the Ishpeming Carnegie Public Library are available for free to residents living within the City of Ishpeming and surrounding townships including: Champion, Ely, Humboldt, Ishpeming, and Tilden townships. Also, if you are a Negaunee resident with a Negaunee Library Card, you are eligible to sign up for an Ishpeming card as well.
At the Ishpeming Carnegie Public Library, you’ll find diverse programs, book clubs, author talks, storytimes, crafting classes, presentations, and more. Throughout the month of September, the library will continue to offer an expansive lineup of programs. Programs are free and open to the public, and don’t require a library card to attend, so stop on in for one of our many programs.
