Chester County Library invites families and community members to celebrate the power of a library card at the 4th annual Library Card Sign‑Up Fest, held on Sunday, September 13, from 1:00–3:00 PM in the library’s parking lot. Please note: The library parking lot will be closed during the event. Visitors may park in the garage across the street or in the mall parking lots.
This year’s theme — “A Library Card Hits All the Right Notes” is a reminder that libraries offer something for everyone—no matter your age, background, or goals. Whether you’re checking out a classic story or trying something new, finding harmony at library programs, focusing in a study room, vibing out in a cozy nook, or composing your future with new skills, there’s a seat in the front row at the library for you—and your library card is the ticket.
“Libraries are the cornerstone of our communities. Even in the digital age, they offer free opportunities for connection, learning, and entertainment that no gadget or app can replace,” said Comitta, who serves on the Senate Education Committee. “Whether you need to apply for your library card or already have one, we welcome you to join us and explore all the possibilities available at our free public libraries.”
The fest will feature free, family‑friendly activities, including library card registration, STEM/Makerspace activities, bubbles, LEGO®️ building, bookmark crafting with Miss Pennsylvania’s Teen Anna Rinnier, YMCA’s Zoo & STEM on Wheels, Maggie Moo’s ice cream, Touch‑a‑Truck with police, fire, and EMS vehicles, StoryWalk® story time with Senator Carolyn Comitta, and live music with Michael Kropp—plus additional surprises throughout the afternoon.
The library will also collect new or gently used books for ages 0–18 to support local nonprofits serving children and teens.
Hosted by Chester County Library in partnership with Senator Carolyn Comitta, celebrating a shared commitment to literacy, access, and community engagement.
This September, B sharp, and sign up for a library card!
