September is Sign-Up for a Library Card Month!
Want to instill a love of reading in your children that will benefit them for a lifetime? Get a library card. A library card means you can fill your home with new reading material as often as you’d like, for free. Current cardholders, pick up a flyer at the library to enter a drawing to win a prize. Simply recruit a new card holder, write your name on the flyer and give to your friend (the new card holder) to bring it in to be added to the raffle box when they get their library card. Both you and your recruit may enter the drawing. For information on getting a library card, please click here. Sorry, we do not have online sign-up for library cards. You must come in person to the library. Thank you.
Programs and Classes
National Friends of Libraries Week
October 18 to October 24 is National Friends of Libraries week, and an excellent time to show your support by renewing your Friends membership, becoming a first time member or giving membership as a gift to someone close to you.
Friends of the Hershey Public Library raise money that enables our library to move from good to great — providing the resources for additional programming, much needed equipment, support for children’s summer reading, and special events throughout the year.
The work of the Friends highlights an on-going basis of the fact that our library is the cornerstone of the community providing opportunities for all to engage in the joy of life-long learning and connect with the thoughts and ideas of others from ages past to the present.
The Friends understand the critical importance of well funded libraries and advocate to ensure that our library gets the resources it needs to provide a wide variety of services to all ages including access to print and electronic materials, along with expert assistance in research, readers’ advisory, and children’s services.
The Friends’ gift of their time and commitment to the library sets an example for all in how volunteerism leads to positive civic engagement and the betterment of our community.
National Friends of Libraries Week is coordinated by United for Libraries, a division of the American Library Association with approximately 4,000 personal and group members representing hundreds of thousands of library supporters. United for Libraries supports those who govern, promote, advocate, and fundraise for libraries, and brings together library trustees, advocates, friends, and foundations into a partnership that creates a powerful force for libraries in the 21st century.
