IRON RIVER - September is Library Card Sign-up Month, a time when the West Iron District Library joins the American Library Association (ALA) and libraries nationwide to remind everyone about the valuable resources available with a library card.
From borrowing books, ebooks, and audiobooks to WiFi, learning new skills, or attending a book club or story time, a library card helps everyone do more of what they enjoy without stretching their budget.

Borrow one, or more of our fun baking tins and cookie cutters.
There’s something for everyone at the WIDL and signing up for a library card is the first step on the path to academic achievement and lifelong learning for students.
The West Iron District Library continues to adapt and expand services to meet the evolving needs of our community. To sign up for a library card or to learn more about the library’s resources and programs, please visit westironlib.org.
During September, patrons who sign up for their first WIDL library card or refer a friend to sign up for a card, will be entered into a special prize drawing. Adults and children are eligible, and we will draw on Sept. 29 and enjoy fall treats all day.
Since 1987, Library Card Sign-up Month has been held each September to mark the beginning of the school year. During the month, the ALA and libraries work together in a national effort to ensure every child signs up for their own library card.
