Read, renew and win: SJPL celebrates Library Card Sign-Up Month

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- The St. Joseph Public Library is celebrating Library Card Sign-Up Month in September with the theme “One Card, Endless Possibilities.”

Library cards provide access to more than books. This includes free programs, job resources, homework help as well as streaming media.

The library is waiving the usual $1 replacement fee for lost cards throughout the month. Patrons who use their cards in September can also enter prize drawings at any of the four library branches.

Prizes include a Smart Cookie stuffed animal and book set for ages six and under, a $25 Dunkin’ Donuts gift card for ages seven to 17 and a $25 Country Cookie gift card for adults.

The library will also hand out mints to visitors as a thank-you for their continued support.

More information is available at SJPL's website, or on the library’s Facebook page.
