5 Reasons why everyone should have a Library card:

• If you get a card at a business, you’re expected to buy something. If you get a library card, you get to use materials, enjoy services provided, or attend programs at no additional charge.
• You can use the library from the comfort of your own home. The library offers free access to ebooks, eaudiobooks, novels, magazines, and downloadable music on multiple device types.
• Your library card gives you access to multiple libraries, museums, and the world beyond your hometown library.
• The library provides flexible options for using your card including wallet cards, keyring cards, and smartphone scanning.
• The more a community supports its public library, the more the public library can provide that which is beyond an individual’s personal budget.
