September is also Library Card Sign-up Month
Of course you don't need a library card for the CHS Library, but we always recommend you have a public library card as well. If you don't already have a card for the Burnham (or your local public library), now's the time to get one. It's free and easy and it will give you access to all of the resources available to you (both print and digital) at the Burnham and at any of the public libraries on the Homecard system. SO many resources! We have the registration forms here in the CHS Library. You can fill one out and turn it in to Ms. Binder or Ms. Kupferer. We'll return your shiny new Burnham Library card to you within a week.
Can't make it to the library in person to check out books?

Not sure what you want to read? Request a BOOK STACK and we'll put together a custom stack of recommended reads for you to peruse at your leisure.
