Library Card Sign-Up Month





One Card, Endless Possibilities: Library Card Sign-Up Month
Do you have a library card?

September is Library Card Sign-Up Month! Many Library services are available to anybody, even without a library card. That includes browsing books and using our open study spaces, as well as attending library programs [ https://www.library.sunnyvale.ca.gov/events/calendar-month-view ]. However, a Full Access Card comes with many perks, such as:


* Borrowing up to 100 physical items, including board games [ https://sunnyvale.bibliocommons.com/v2/search?query=Board%20Games++&searchType=smart ], Nintendo Switch games [ https://sunnyvale.bibliocommons.com/v2/search?custom_edit=false&query=formatcode%3A(VIDEO_GAME%20)&searchType=bl&suppress=true&sort=newly_acquired&title=Nintendo%20Switch%20Games ], cooking and baking supplies [ https://sunnyvale.bibliocommons.com/v2/search?query=LoT%20-%20Kitchen%20%26%20Cooking&searchType=series&sort=newly_acquired&title=Library%20of%20Things%20-%20Kitchen%20%26%20Cooking ], 3D pens [ https://sunnyvale.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S173C1963826 ].

It cannot be used at libraries in other cities, although you can request materials from other California libraries through Link+ [ https://linkencore.iii.com/iii/encore/?lang=eng ].

 

As a department of the City of Sunnyvale, our Library is able to curate a collection specifically for our Sunnyvale community. We are also able to collaborate with other City departments on things like the Induction Cooktops [ https://sunnyvale.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S173C1899013 ] and sustainability programming [ https://sunnyvale.libcal.com/event/14959557 ] provided by the Environmental Services Department.

 

Every member of your family can have their own library card. There is no minimum age to have a card. Cards in the same household are not linked.

 

Signing up for a library card takes about five minutes. Visit our Accounts Desk with photo ID and proof of your current mailing address in California any time we are open [ https://www.library.sunnyvale.ca.gov/about-us/locations-hours ] for your own Full Access Card!
