Celebrate Library Card Sign-Up Month With the Comsewogue Public Library!

Show us your library card for a chance to win a 4-pack of tickets to the Long Island Aquarium and Exhibition Center.

This month marks the 25th anniversary of Library card sign-up month and the Comsewogue Public Library is celebrating in a big way!  During the month of September, present your Comsewogue Library card to any one of our librarians to enter a raffle for a chance to win a 4-pack of tickets to the Long Island Aquarium and Exhibition Center.  Residents of Port Jefferson Station, Mt. Sinai, and Miller Place are eligible to get a library card.  Contact the library at (631) 928-1212 or visit us at www.cplib.org for details about how to get a library card.

The American Library Association (ALA) launched this national campaign in 1987 to meet the challenge of, then Secretary of Education, William J. Bennett who said: “Let’s have a national campaign…every child should obtain a library card – and use it.”  Thousands of public and school libraries across the country have joined this effort, and the Comsewogue Public Library is proud to be a part of it.  Since the library plays such a vital role in our community, we believe that it’s important for everyone, young and old alike, to have and use their library card. 

Come visit us at 170 Terryville Road in Port Jefferson Station…bring a movie home, receive a unique book suggestion from a librarian, enjoy a concert or learn a new skill at one of our programs.  Enjoy our services from home as well…download an eBook, research a database, get live homework help, or use interactive tools for your job search.  No matter your age or interests, opportunity awaits you at your public library!
