This month we’re challenging every cardholder to bring their own “cardless” friends, neighbors, or work buddies down to the library (or any Dottie Stop) to help them get a card. Both of you will get a coupon at sign-up for a free book from any LPLFF Book Sale! 🧑‍🤝‍🧑📚️

Once you both have your cards, you can show them what they’re missing and maybe borrow two copies of the same book to read and talk about. Or carpool to a library event you both like. Then take home a film that you’ve both been dying to see for a movie night.

Feel free to start the sign-up process online at the link below! 🔗

A free library card gets you 1000s of books, DVDs, and 24-7 access to our digital library for streaming indie films and documentaries, unlimited New York Times and Washington Post articles, loads of popular magazines, downloadable eBooks and eAudiobooks, online learning tools and research databases, and so much more.”
