September Is Library Card Sign-up Month!

Use your library card for special deals around town this month! Current and new CPLD cardholders can present their library cards at the businesses listed below for special deals during September. 

Don’t have a library card yet? There’s no time like the present! New cardholders receive a special gift, while supplies last.

Remember: Everyone in the family can have a library card! No minimum (or maximum) age.

To sign up for a library card, bring these to the library:

  • Your photo ID.
  • If your ID doesn’t have your current address, you’ll also need a recent bill addressed to you at your current address.
  • If you’re under 18, bring a parent or guardian with whom you live, who can provide their ID.
