Roll out with a library card.&quot; The art style and sentiment are both charmingly primitive.\"><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Whether you're upgrading your skills, scouting for knowledge and information, or connecting with other heroic readers, a library card is your key to an arsenal of resources. Spark your creativity as a builder or programmer by tinkering in your library's makerspace; mine the library's stacks and databases for new stories and adventures; kickstart your critical thinking skills to defeat the Decepticons of misinformation lurking online. Hitting the road? Use your library card to fuel your mind with books, e-books, audiobooks, and museum passes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>You can visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ala.org\/conferencesevents\/celebrationweeks\/card\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the ALA's site<\/a> to see even more <i>TF<\/i>-themed notices, or even download some Autobot- or Decepticon-themed coloring pages.
