Discover a New Chapter of Perks: It's Library Card Sign-up Month!

Plus win some prize packs from Sussex County Library

September 14, 2021

Did you know the library card is your key to open a tremendous array of services, technology, programs, and...PERKS? Nothing is more empowering than getting your own library card. Did we mention it's FREE? It's Library Card Sign-up Month!

Macaroni KID truly values everything that our libraries bring to our communities...especially our children. Why? Hey, I'm a local mom, too. And I LOVE that I can find, on any given day, something going on that would interest (and be of value to) my kids. Programs and events are available to all ages... from chess clubs to lego experiences, Read to a Dog to walking opportunities, and so much more.

And if that wasn't enough, the Summer Reading programs are simply outstanding and kids seem to really love the activities that go along with the program theme. So, needless to say, you'll always see local library events on the Macaroni KID Sussex calendar.


Sussex County Library is celebrating library card holders by awarding SCLS Prize Packs of library swag - a tote, water bottle, and flash drive.
