I’ve been trying to be better about keeping track of important dates that might pertain to the library (I made a <em>Pinterest</em> board for it and that’s massively helped me). So I was very aware that September is <em>National Library Card Sign-up Month</em>. However, I hadn’t made any real plans to promote it since I thought I’d have time, and then I was unexpectedly away from work for two weeks. Eep! So by the time I got back, my boss had posted information about this month online, and reminded staff to talk it up. I was going to let it go, but then I saw this awesome library campaign: <a href=”http://pinalbookclub.wordpress.com/benefits-of-library-cards/” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener noreferrer”>Benefits of a Library Card</a>. I mean, that’s just beyond crazy-awesome.

I really <em>do</em> hope to do something in the future as classy as what <em>Pinal County Library District</em> did, but my mind tends to lean towards the sillier side of things. And thus <em>Re”meme”ber That It’s National Library Card Sign-up Month</em> was born. I hope that in the future I can post a meme to our social media sites for every day in September, but until next year I’ll be happy with half-a-month.
And as luck would have it, I was looking up who had done the amazing <em>Penguin Classics </em>campaign<em> </em>to link them to this blog when I stumbled across Andy Woodworth’s blog <em><a href=”http://agnosticmaybe.wordpress.com/2013/08/30/national-badass-library-card-sign-up-month-reloaded/” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener noreferrer”>Agnostic Maybe</a> </em>where he had declared it <em>National Badass Library Card Month. </em>He also was adding fantastic memes and other things to <a href=”http://idea-lab.tumblr.com/” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener noreferrer”>his <em>Tumblr</em></a> for every day in September. I knew that my idea likely wasn’t original, but this still took a little bit of the wind outta my sails. However, I’m choosing to look at it like <em>great minds think alike </em>(Wait. He beat me to a Nyan-library card cat – and his is <em>animated?! </em>GAH! I mean, good for him!) and I’ll definitely follow what he’s up to. After all, in writing this post, I was hoping to share these with the library world at large so that others could use them – so maybe I’ll end up on <em>Idea Lab. </em>That’d truly be crazy-cool.<em>
</em>
So there’s all that. Now onto the images! Again, please feel free to copy/paste them, use them, adjust them for your needs, and just have fun with them.
