Check It Out: Children encouraged to sign up for library cards at Leesburg Branch Library
Lead Summary
By
Sharon Aukeman-
September is Library Card Sign-up Month, and the staff at the Leesburg Library would like to remind parents that your children need to have the “smartest card” in their wallets – a library card.
Please bring your children to the front desk and sign them up for a card if they don’t already have one. The only requirement is that their parent must have a library card in good standing within the Highland County System. If a parent needs a card, we will be happy to oblige. Bring in a picture ID and one other piece of identification showing your current address. That’s all it takes.

To encourage our young patrons to have and use their library cards, every time kids check out 10 items during the month of September, they get to spin our Leesburg Library Fair prize wheel. Come in and get the details at our front desk.
Other activities this month include our Knit Together group. They meet every Thursday from 5:30-7 p.m. New knitters are always welcome.
The Highland County libraries will be closed on Monday, Sept. 5 in observance of the Labor Day holiday. Please feel free to use our outside book drop to return items.
Our teen book group, SPARX, will meet on Thursday, Sept. 8 at 5:30 p.m. All Leesburg area teens in grades seven and up are invited to participate. The book being discussed is “Fish in a Tree” by Lynda Mullaly Hunt. Join Ashley for some food and fun every month.
Our story times resume on Thursday, Sept. 15 and continue every Thursday morning. Wee Ones (age 6-36 months) meet at 10 a.m. for a time of songs, rhymes and stories. Tater Tots (age 3-5 years) meet at 10:30 a.m. for songs, finger plays, flannel board activities, stories and crafts. Stop by our front desk to pick up a booklet that includes this year’s dates, themes and more information.
RRR book group will meet on Thursday, Sept. 15 at 1:30 p.m. Book to be discussed is “reader’s choice.”
The library staff hopes you will stop in to pick up a good book or participate in a great program during the month of September. We look forward to seeing you soon.
