Turn a New Page During Library Card Sign - Up Month
By: Orange County Library System & Orange County Communications Department
Did you know September is Library Card Sign - Up Month? With so many incredible resources available through our library system, there ’ s never been a better time to get one! Acquiring a library card is free and open to Orange County residents and those of adjoining counties (Albemarle, Culpeper, Greene, Louisa, Madison, Nelson, and Spotsylvania). Begin by visiting your nearest Orange County Library branch with a government - issued photo ID. Completing an online registration form in advance will save some time during this visit, but does not grant a card by itself. Following registration and staff review, an applicant will be issued a provisional card which allows the check out of two items. When the provisional card is issued a postcard will be mailed to the provided address. Once the applicant returns to one our library branches with the mailed postcard, residency will be fully - verified and their borrowing limit will increase to 50 items. That impressive borrowing limit can be used for much more than just books (but of course, we have a great selection of those). Library benefits also include the ability to borrow movies and TV series, stream videos, reserve meeting rooms, use computers and Wi - Fi, read magazines and newspapers (both digital and print), enjoy programs for all ages, participate in college courses, engage in genealogy research, and even get help with homework or job resumes!
