September is Library Card Sign-up Month, and the Delano Public Library wants to make sure that all children in the community have the smartest card of all– a library card. There’s a lot happening at the Delano Library, and the best part for both children and parents is that it’s all free with a library card. Getting a library card is easy. Stop by the front desk to sign up for a card or get more information. Anyone signing up for a library card will get to enter their name for a drawing to win the book, “Emmy and the Incredible Shrinking Rat,” by Lynne Jonell. If you already have a library card, bring it in and enter the drawing. Entries will be accepted from Tuesday, Sept. 1 through Friday, Sept. 25.

The winner of the  book will also have the opportunity to have the book signed by the author. Lynne Jonell will be at the library Tuesday, Sept. 29 from 7 to 8 p.m.
