Send by email52 Ways to Use Your Library Card Contest
September 1 to September 29
Did you know your library card can be used for more than just checking out books? The American Library Association came up with a list of 52 ways to use your library card, which can be viewed by clicking on the Smartest Card logo. To celebrate National Library Card Sign-Up Month this year we are challenging the teens and adults of St. Johns County to help us come up with a local list. Stop by the Main Library during September to submit 1 to 52 ways you have found to use your library card. The most unique ways will be compiled into a final list at the end of the month. For each way you submit that ends up on the final list, you may select a FREE book off our prize cart!
