What’s the most valuable card in your wallet? Your library card!

By utilizing library services, APL cardholders have saved more than 6.3 million dollars this year (January-July 2022).

With access to homework help, museum passes, STEM activities, streaming services, music, and books, of course, an Ascension Parish Library (APL) card is the most cost-effective card in your wallet.

September is National Library Card Sign-Up Month. During the month, libraries unite in a national effort to ensure all children (and parents/guardians) have a library card.  

Students and teachers in the parish also have access to databases, ebooks, audiobooks, and more through a partnership with Ascension Public Schools. By using their school-issued ID numbers, students have access to digital resources 24/7. 

*A full-access library card is needed to check out books and other materials.

With a library card, you can:

·      Get passes to local and regional museums and nature centers

·      Access databases and online learning courses and preloaded tablets

·      Stream movies, TV shows, and music

·      Borrow books, magazines, audiobooks, and more

·      Learn a new language

·      Prepare for college exams

·      Learn how to grow your business

·      Try a new craft, check out a telescope, board games for family night, or learn to play the ukulele

·      Attend a puppet show, learn about animals, and get inspired through library programs
