One Card, Endless Possibilities

This September, the San Bernardino County Library (SBCL), in collaboration with the San Bernardino County Museum (SBCM), invites you to celebrate Library Card Sign-Up Month to discover how a single card can open the door to endless opportunities.

This year’s theme, “One Card, Endless Possibilities,” is a reminder that libraries are for everyone—no matter your age, background or goals. Whether you’re diving into a new hobby, searching for your next great read, brushing up on tech skills, or helping your child succeed in school, it all starts with a library card.

Getting a SBCL library card is free, easy and empowering. For students, it’s a key to academic success. For adults, it’s a gateway to lifelong learning. For everyone, it’s a smart way to stay connected to your community.

To bring learning beyond traditional walls, visitors can sign up for a free library card directly at SBCM, eliminating the need to visit a library branch. This partnership bridges the gap between exhibits and reading, allowing guests to continue their journey of discovery from the museum galleries to the pages of countless books and digital resources.

“Our mission has always been to inspire curiosity and lifelong learning,” said SBCL Program Coordinator Elizabeth Williams. “By partnering with the museum, we’re making it easier for our community to access the tools they need to explore, learn, and grow.”

We invite you to unlock endless possibilities with a SBCL card! From books and audiobooks to e-resources, online classes, and exclusive access to tools like Libby, a library card is your gateway to knowledge and adventure. Sign up today and explore everything we have to offer—all free with your library card!
