Chincoteague Island Library Celebrates Library Card Sign-Up Month

The theme this year is “A Library Card Hits All the Right Notes” is a reminder that libraries offer something for everyone, no matter your age, background, or goals. Residents and visitors are invited to stop by and sign up for a free library card.

As an incentive, anyone who signs up for a new library card during September will receive chance to win a library tote filled with gift cards and library goodies. New cardholders are also encouraged to snap a photo with the library’s oversized library card to commemorate the occasion.

Signing up is simple and free. The Chincoteague Island Library hours are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday & Friday 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM, Thursday 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM and Saturday 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM.
