September is recognized as “Library Card Sign-up Month” by the American Library Association. Despite the month coming to an end, there’s always time to get a library card.
For those who want one — and for those who already have one — here’s a reminder of all the Cumberland County Public Library system offers.
Cumberland County Public Library is more than just books — it’s a hub for learning, connection and fun for the whole community. Every library branch offers free programs for all ages, including toddler story times, tech help for adults, hobby/craft programs and hands-on learning for youth. Sensory-friendly toys and interactives are also available to create a welcoming environment for children of all abilities.
Headquarters Library features exciting “learn through play” areas like a giant light wall, a construction crane and a train table. It also offers a reservable ocean-themed sensory calming room, featuring fiber optics lights, bubble tube and multi-sensory experiences that encourage relaxation and rejuvenation. For history enthusiasts and family researchers, the Local & State History Room at Headquarters Library offers a wealth of resources, including newspapers, maps, yearbooks and directories. It also features a digital preservation lab to help you convert older media — like VHS tapes, cassette tapes, vinyl records and printed photos — into digital formats for easy storage and sharing.
At West Regional Library, stop by Miller’s Brew at Café West — a cozy coffee spot staffed by individuals with special needs. This unique café supports job training while offering a warm, welcoming place to relax. West Regional also features a private nursing room, available by reservation, for families who need a quiet space for infant care or family needs.
Getting a library card is easy. Just bring a photo ID and proof of Cumberland County residency to any branch. Kids under 16 need a parent’s permission. A Cumberland County Public Library card gives you access to children, juvenile and adult collections, e-books, audiobooks, computers, learning tools, homework help and so much more.
Stop by and explore your local branch — there’s something new every time you visit!
