It's officially Library Card Sign-Up Month! 🎉📚

In honor of the occasion, we're highlighting how library cards offer so much more than just books. That's why this year's theme is Opening Doors! 🚪✨

To celebrate, current and new library cardholders can stop by our Patron Services Desks to pick up an interactive Library BINGO card!

Complete 4 squares in a row (diagonally, vertically, or horizontally) and win some Library merchandise! Fill out the entire card and you'll win a limited-edition Library T-shirt!

Stop by, celebrate your Library, and if you don't have a library card yet, our doors are open for you! ❤️📖
