The Orange County Library System is joining others across the nation to share with citizens the benefits of owning a library card.
Orange County is home to an award-winning library system, and officials are hoping residents will register for a library card for access to countless resources and material available for use.
It gives cardholders access to free digital media, including e-books, audiobooks and movies; educational databases with virtual homework help and STEAM programs; technology workshops and classes; and the chance to learn new languages, including American Sign Language.
Virtual events, such as storytime, arts and crafts, and photography classes, are offered as well.
It’s convenient, too — books and other materials are delivered directly to homes.
To take advantage of Library Card Sign-up Month, visit ocls.info/using-library. The program can save parents and students hundreds of dollars on educational materials and services.
