Summary

The commission issued a proclamation recognizing September 2025 as National Library Card Sign‑Up Month, highlighted summer program recaps and launched a library user survey and an incentive drawing for new or renewed library cards.

The Safety Harbor City Commission on Sept. 2 proclaimed September 2025 as National Library Card Sign‑Up Month and recognized recent library activity and outreach during a brief presentation.

City officials presented the proclamation and library staff — including circulation manager Brianne Smith Perdoza — described a summer recap slideshow and the launch of a user survey to inform the library’s long-range plan. Staff said the library is now fully back in its permanent facility following construction and that the user survey is available online, at the library and via the city’s listserv.

Library staff also noted a local incentive: residents who obtain a new card or renew an existing Pinellas Public Library Cooperative (PPLC) card are eligible to enter a drawing for gift baskets and audiobooks. Staff said proceeds of library programs and survey input will be used by the future director to shape programming over the coming years.

The proclamation text cited libraries’ roles in literacy, lifelong learning, digital access and community connections and encouraged residents to sign up for a free library card.
