The DeSoto Parish Library is thrilled to launch Library Card Sign-Up Month this September with engaging giveaways across all branch locations. To mark the occasion, each branch will offer a range of unique prizes for adults, young adults, and children. Community members are invited to sign up for a new library card or participate in various activities to earn drawing tickets to win these fantastic prizes.

Here’s how you can earn tickets:

  • Sign Up for a New Library Card: 1 ticket
  • Replace a Lost Library Card: 1 ticket (replacement is free this September)
  • Renew Items: 1 ticket (by phone or in person)
  • Update an Existing Library Card: 1 ticket
  • Check Out 1 to 3 Items: 1 ticket
  • Check Out Four or More Items: 2 tickets

The prize drawing will take place on September 30th. The DeSoto Parish Library encourages everyone to join the festivities and support their local library.

This year’s celebration also aligns with a broader national campaign led by the American Library Association (ALA) in partnership with Skybound Entertainment and Hasbro. Featuring the TRANSFORMERS franchise, the campaign underscores the essential role library cards play in providing access to knowledge and fostering creativity. ALA President Emily Drabinski and Arune Singh from Skybound highlight how libraries nurture imagination and learning. TRANSFORMERS’ Optimus Prime inspires new and returning patrons to engage with local libraries.

Join us in celebrating Library Card Sign-Up Month and discover the many benefits of having a library card!
