Friday, September 3, 2021 at 10:13PM Observer Reports
September kicks off National Library Card Sign-Up Month and the Anderson County Library System is offering a chance to win one of two $100 Visa gift cards.
The contest centers around this year's theme "Libraries Empower," and entry is easy. Pick up a “Libraries Empower” bookmark from your local library, fill out the rest of the bookmark, write how libraries have empowered you or your family and return your entry to the library no later than Sept. 30.
Library cards are free to anyone who lives, works, owns property, or goes to school in Anderson County. With a library card, you can get more than just books. Digital offereings include eBooks and digital magazines, listen to digital audiobooks, or stream movies, concerts, and lectures with Libby, Hoopla, and Flipster Magazines. The Anderson County Library System also circulates passes to S.C. State Parks, the Children’s Museum of the Upstate, book club kits, fishing equipment, learning tablets for children, and there are even free seeds available to gardeners.
Go digital with your library card. Read eBooks and digital magazines, listen to digital audiobooks, or stream movies, concerts, and lectures with Libby, Hoopla, and Flipster Magazines.
Library cards also provide access to reliable information and research resources. Research your family’s history with Ancestry: Library Edition and HeritageQuest. Search or browse past issues of the Independent-Mail and Consumer Reports. Take an online class at your own pace with Universal Class or practice for the GED, SAT, Praxis, and other college and career exams with LearningExpress Library. Need help getting started? Make an appointment for one-on-one help with Book-A-Librarian.
