September is Membership Month at the Lethbridge Public Library

According to the WorldMetrics – Library Statistics Report 2025, only about 50 per cent of the world’s population has access to a library in their community.

That’s why initiatives like Lethbridge Public Library’s Membership Month in September matter — encouraging residents to sign up and get involved for free to explore what their library offers.

According to the library manager, free membership has been in place since 2019.
