Any time is a great time to get a library card, but September is officially Library Card Sign-Up Month! Maybe you had a card years ago, and it’s time to renew. If you’ve never had a NOPL library card, it’s very easy to sign-up. Just stop into any NOPL branch location (NOPL Brewerton, Cicero, or North Syracuse) with a valid photo ID that shows your current mailing address. If you’ve moved recently, please bring along a piece of mail that shows your name and current mailing address. Kids can get their own library card too! Find more details HERE.
