September is Library Card Sign-Up Month and to help celebrate, the St. Joseph Public Library has a lot going on.
Director of St. Joseph Public Library, Mary Beth Revels, says the library is offering prizes to anyone who uses their library card during the month of September. Infants to age six can register to win a Frog and Toad plush animal and book set. While people over the age of 18 could win a $25 Visa gift card.
Revels says a library card can unlock a lot of resources and programs the library offers, "You can check out books, movies, and online material. We have e-books and movies that can be streamed online."
In addition to books and films, Revels emphasizes the St. Joseph Public Library also provides access to car repair databases, legal forms, and genealogy information.
Revels says the library offers programs for residents of all ages, "We have programming for babies to senior adults."
Some of those programs and services include local history resources, book clubs, and story times.
In September, the usual $1.00 replacement fee for lost library cards will be waived.
The St. Joseph Library system includes four locations; Carnegie Library, Downtown Library, East Hills Library, and Washington Park Library.
