September library card sign up month and we are hoping to see some news faces! Signing up for a library card is easy! A photo I.D. with a current address information is all you need. If your I.D. does not have your current address you just need a piece of mail to confirm your current address. Don't miss out on all the amazing FREE items and services you can access with your library card- including items from our partner libraries is the Old Colony Library Network.
Already got a card? Bring a friend or family member and help get them signed up! Patrons who sign up for a card or recommend a friend will receive a cute, Squishamllow themed goodie bag and be entered to win a real Squishmallow! |
