What to watch: Fresh reads come to the Midland Downtown Farmers Market as Polly the bookmobile arrives Saturday, Sept. 27. Shoppers can browse books, sign up for a library card, or check out items on site.

The big picture: September is Library Card Sign-Up Month, and time is running out to join in. A library card unlocks borrowing privileges for physical or online books, movies, and games, plus access to computers, Wi-Fi, and more. Cards are free for Midland County residents of any age. Sign up at the Downtown Library, Centennial Library, or right on the bookmobile.

Go deeper: The Midland County Public Libraries’ bookmobile brings services directly to schools, parks, senior centers, and community events. This Farmers Market stop offers a chance to shop, grab local eats, and walk away with library access that lasts all year. Find Polly stocked and parked at 404 N. Colorado St.
