Revisit the library with special events

In celebration of National Library Card Sign-Up Month, the Haywood County Public Library is joining with other North Carolina libraries to urge citizens to use the smartest card in your wallet.

Haywood County Public Library will be celebrating Library Card Sign-Up Month this September with the following events:

• Write a love letter to your library. Entries will be judged by librarians and prizes will be awarded to the first- and second-place winners. Entries must be submitted by Monday, Sept. 19.

• Show your library card Sept. 26 to 30 at Blue Ridge Books and News in Waynesville, and receive a 10-percent discount on any purchase (excluding newspapers).

• All first-time library card applicants will receive a canvas book bag the week of Sept. 26.

• Young adults and children are invited to enter a “Why do you love your library?” video contest. Entries must be submitted by Monday, Sept. 19. The winning video will be shown on the Haywood County Government Access Station and on the television in the lower level of the Waynesville library.

At our inception 20 years ago, we chose to be different. Unlike other news organizations, we made the decision to provide in-depth, regional reporting free to anyone who wanted access to it. We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home. If you are able, please support The Smoky Mountain News.

The Smoky Mountain News is a wholly private corporation. Reader contributions support the journalistic mission of SMN to remain independent. Your support of SMN does not constitute a charitable donation. If you have a question about contributing to SMN, please contact us.
