Greetings!
September is Library Card Sign-up Month. We
know YOU have a card, but does your
neighbor? Tell them about the great library services you
are enjoying and suggest they get a card.
If you have a child, be sure to get their most
important school supply--their library card--and have them use
it often. We are here to help with their school
assignments and to help them find just the right book to read.
Visit your St. Mary's County Library--Your Place to
Learn, Discover, Relax!
