Dunedin proclaims September 'Library Card Sign‑Up Month' as library marks 30 years
Summary
The commission formally proclaimed September 2026 Library Card Sign‑Up Month and recognized the Dunedin Public Library's 30th anniversary in its current building; staff announced an Oct. 2 celebration and urged residents to renew expired library cards.
Commissioner Steven Sandbergen read a proclamation on Sept. 1 declaring September 2026 as Library Card Sign‑Up Month and praised the library’s role as a community hub for literacy and learning.
"Now, therefore, I, Steven Sandbergen, by virtue of the authority vested in me by Mayor Freeney and the City of Dunedin, and on behalf of the entire City Commission, hereby proclaim September 2026 as library card sign up month, and encourage all residents to sign up for a library card," Sandbergen read.
A library representative thanked the commission and described outreach activities, noting the building’s 30th anniversary and partnerships with local organizations. "Library card sign up month. This is our big month to promote getting a library card," the representative said, urging residents to stop by — library cards expire every three years.
The library plans a 30th‑anniversary display and community event on Friday, Oct. 2, with photographs and refreshments; staff said the building first opened in 1996 and the city has supported library programming and partnerships with local organizations such as the Dunedin Blue Jays and TD Ballpark.
