September is Library Card Sign Up Month!
September is Library Card Sign-up Month, a time when the Fox River Valley Public Library
District joins with the American Library Association and public libraries nationwide to make
sure that our students have the most import school supply of all – a free library card.
Resources at the Dundee Library and Randall Oaks Branch Library are available to anyone
who has a library card. Students can turn to the library for materials, programs and services
that support academic achievement.
Students (and all cardholders!) have access to books, magazines, videos, music, audiobooks,
and games that encompass the collections of 25 additional area libraries. Students who are
working on a special project, need access to a computer, scanner, or printer, or just need a
quiet place to work will find it at the library.
There are many fun and educational programs for
younger students that will expose them to great literature,
faraway places, and new skills. Our older students can
benefit from our free computer classes and few fun groups
when they need to take a break, like TAG or Anime Club.
The benefits of a library card can be experienced right
from home as well. Through our website we provide a
portal to information that includes ebooks and audiobooks, research databases, and free downloadable music.
There are also a wide variety of links to help students find
quality information online.
New policy for FRVPLD
cardholders only!
Blu-Rays and video games
can now be placed on
hold by cardholders.
items are renewable one
time (unless there is a
hold waiting). Visit our
online catalog at
www.frvpld.info to
search for videos and
games and place a hold!
For more information on how to sign up for a library
card, visit the Dundee Library in East Dundee or the Randall Oaks Branch Library in West
Dundee in person or visit the library online at www.frvpld.info.
