Library Card Sign Up Month

September is Library Card Sign Up Month! Don't miss out on all the fun your library card can bring!

Celebrate Library Card Sign-up Month 2026 with honorary chair Laufey...

Icelandic-Chinese composer, singer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Laufey will serve as honorary chair of Library Card Sign-up Month!

This September, Laufey will join ALA and libraries nationwide to give everyone a front row seat to the joy of getting a library card. As honorary chair, Laufey will spotlight how, no matter what your tastes are, a library card hits all the right notes—whether you enjoy reading a classic story, vibing out in a cozy nook, learning new skills in the library’s makerspace, or checking out instruments and tools in the Library of Things.

Laufey, the youngest ever and two-time recipient of the GRAMMY® Award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album, has captivated a generation with virtuosic songs of love and self-discovery by manifesting her vision of jazz- and classical-infused pop music. An enthusiastic reader, she founded the Laufey Book Club in 2022 helping to foster a global community of readers. Her first children’s picture book, Mei Mei The Bunny, is a New York Times Bestseller and available now from Penguin Workshop, an imprint of Penguin Random House Children’s Books.
