September is National Literacy Month, which makes it the perfect time to get a library card, discover a new author, check out a new read or re-read an old favorite.
Get a Library Card
September is also Library Card Sign Up Month. Cards are available and free to any and all residents in the library taxing district. Depending on your municipality, your card can grant you access to books, eBooks, audiobooks, movies, music & museum passes. Bonus – munchkins can get their very own cards!

Books are incredible windows to education, adventure & entertainment. They’re great moments of connection, independence and self awareness. Click here to check out Munchkin Fun’s September book picks and here to view our complete library of book recommendations.
Tips for Family Reading
Our biggest tip – don’t overthink or stress about it. All reading is good reading and any amount of reading you do with your munchkin is great – the more the better! Beyond that, find a comfortable space to sit; slow down (look at pictures, pause at page breaks); ask questions (what does this word mean, what do you think about that character, how do you like the ending?); and use funny voices for characters.
