Leon County Celebrates Library Card Sign-up Month with Limited-Edition Library Card

In celebration of Library Card Sign-up Month in September and the upcoming World Athletics Cross Country Championships on January 10, 2026, Leon County Government is now offering a limited-edition championships-themed library card to all eligible residents.

The Capital of Cross Country, Tallahassee-Leon County is home to the internationally recognized cross country course at Leon County’s Apalachee Regional Park, which will serve as the host for the 2026 World Athletics Cross Country Championships. To highlight this global event and its connection to our community, the library is proud to debut a commemorative World Athletics Cross Country Championships Tallahassee 26 library card.

A library card unlocks access to everything the library provides, including books, eBooks, audiobooks, magazines, streaming movies, CDs, DVDs, online tutoring and e-Learning resources through Brainfuse, and the Library of Things collection. While supplies last, new and current library card holders can receive the WXC Tallahassee 26 library card at no cost by visiting any Leon County Public Library location.

Since 1987, the American Library Association and libraries across the country have celebrated Library Card Sign-up Month each September to mark the beginning of the school year. The purpose of the month is to ensure every child signs up for their own library card.
