It just might be the best free perk available. September kicks off National Library Card Sign-Up Month and the Anderson County Library System celebrating with special events and prizes.
Library cards are free to anyone who lives, works, owns property, or goes to school in Anderson County. The library card brings not only access to books, but digital offereings, including: eBooks and digital magazines, audiobooks, movies, concerts, and lectures with (also free) Libby, Hoopla, and Flipster apps. The Anderson County Library System also offers passes to S.C. State Parks, the Children’s Museum of the Upstate, book club kits, fishing equipment, learning tablets for children, and even free seeds for gardeners.
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 local and national publications, or 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.
