5 Ways to Celebrate National Library Lovers’ Month

Three books wrapped with brown paper and a bow have a pink or purple-colored heart on the center with each book's genre, barcode, and their first line.

February is National Library Lovers’ Month! During this month-long celebration, we promote the significance of libraries, the programs they offer, and their impact on the communities they serve. 

This month is dedicated to patrons who show their love and appreciation for libraries and librarians. Here’s how you can celebrate and connect with your library all month long (and beyond)!

  1. Get a Library Card

    Library cards give you unlimited access to a wealth of information in the form of books, magazines, eBooks, audiobooks, DVDs, CDs, the Library of Things, access to Makerspace equipment at the LPCPL Exchange and more.

    LPCPL offers a variety of card types that provide different levels of access perfect for you, your family, or organization. Residents of La Porte County can apply for an account at any branch, and will need to bring a photo ID, proof of address, and parent or guardian permission if under the age of 18.

    La Porte County Public Library does not charge overdue fees for items returned in good condition.
