Volusia County Public Library is proud to introduce a vibrant new initiative for children: the "My First Library Card" campaign!
This exciting launch features a specially designed, kid-friendly library card celebrating a child's first steps into a lifelong love of reading. Created to encourage early literacy, the "My First Library Card" is available to children receiving their very first library card to mark this momentous milestone in their reading journey. The colorful design reflects the wonder and imagination books bring into children's lives.
A library card is one of a child's most powerful tools. It opens doors to books and educational resources that support school readiness, vocabulary development, and a love of learning. A library card is also a vital component of Florida's Grade-Level Reading Campaign to help ensure that every child reads on grade level by the end of third grade – an essential benchmark for lifelong success. "We want every child in Volusia County to feel the joy of having a library card just for them," said Lucinda Colee, Volusia County Public Library Director. "This campaign is part of the library's commitment to supporting early literacy and helping families build strong reading habits from the start."
The new library card design is available at all 14 library branches, and there are photo opportunities to celebrate our latest cardholders.
