Letter from the Editor
This September, Disney and Pixar’s “Toy Story 4” characters Woody, Buzz LightYear, Bo Peep and friends are joining the American Library Association on an adventure to promote the value of a library card as Library Card Sign-up Month Honorary Chairs. In their role, they will remind everyone that signing up for a library card opens a world of infinite possibilities. Libraries offer resources and services that help people pursue their passions and give students the tools to succeed in school and beyond. The Toy Story crew knows library cards help bring great stories to life. From borrowing books, movies, or games, to enjoying story time or group play, there’s no end to the exciting activities you can access with a library card. We encourage you to tell your friends and family about the NSU Alvin Sherman Library and have them sign up for a Library Card! .
