Nicolet Federated Library System (NFLS) and Outagamie Waupaca Library System (OWLS) libraries are sending messages that stick with custom vinyl stickers to celebrate Library Card Sign-Up Month throughout September.

Library card holders new and old are encouraged to spread the excitement of getting their Wisconsin library cards by showing off these fun, custom stickers on their water bottles, phone cases, laptops, social media, and elsewhere! Each sticker also draws awareness to getyourlibrarycard.org, which explains the importance of library cards and shows people how they can get library cards within their own counties.

Be on the lookout for similar promotions in libraries throughout the state, as public libraries all over Wisconsin are helping spread the word about Library Card Sign-Up Month with these one-of-a-kind, Wisconsin-themed stickers.

Contact your local library to see how you can get your very own “I got my library card” stickers today!
