Come to the Reading Public Library in the month of September to sign up for a library card and receive our special edition design! This card was created by Stella, the winner of our children's card design contest earlier this year.
Already have a library card but want the cool new design? We don't charge replacement card fees in September! Just stop by the front desk and we will swap your card out for you. Happy National Library Card Sign Up Month!
