National Library Card Sign-Up Month at Limestone Township Library District

 

National Library Card Sign-Up Month at Limestone Township Library District

During National Library Card Sign-Up month, you might be wondering what all you can get with that card.

Many of our patrons can tell you it’s about finding stories about places and people they may never meet in person. Some might talk about how great it is to be able to check out books that you have heard about but do not own yourself. And even if your local library doesn’t own the book or item you are looking for, they can reach beyond their walls to other libraries’ collections to find your desired item.

But a library also gives you opportunities to learn new skills, to utilize our copier/fax machine, or get online through our public access computers.

A library card is your key to an arsenal of resources.

If you live in Limestone Township, you need to bring your driver’s license and a piece of mail with your address on showing proof of residency to get a card. If you live in the non-residents areas, you will need to pay an annual fee for your library card that is equal to the average amount of taxes paid by Limestone Township residents.

If you are not certain if you live within Limestone Township or in the Non-resident area, call the library and we will verify what you need to do to get a library card.

For the month of September, young bookworms between the ages of 5 through 15 years of age can receive a FREE 8" pizza coupon to Monical's Pizza when they sign up for a new library card or renew their existing card. The coupons expire on September 30, 2024 so hurry in. For more information, call us at 815-939-1696.
