Autobots, roll out…. and sign up for a library card today! Did you know that September is Library Card Sign-up Month? This year, The American Library Association has partnered with companies such as Skybound, Hasbro, and Image Comics to create Transformers themed supplies and graphics such as bookmarks, library cards, and posters in English and Spanish which feature art by Marz Jr. 

Be sure to check out the ALA Toolkit for even more ideas to help your library and community celebrate and promote library card sign up and use via social media graphics and templates.  

Whether you’re a student, teacher, parent, or just a book lover, your local library holds an arsenal of resources. By signing up for and using your library card, borrowers can upgrade their reading skills, expand their knowledge, and connect with other readers. ALA’s Transformers themed supplies are an effective way for libraries to encourage those in the community to sign up for a library card and become more involved in their local library.
