Library Card Sign Up Celebration
September – All Month Long!
September is National Library Card Signup Month and we’re celebrating with weekly prizes and treats! Everyone can get in on the action by
1) using their library card
2) registering for a new library card
3) updating an old one.
We’ll also have a Grand Prize Drawing for a Kindle Fire Tablet! The more you use your Library Card, the more chances you earn! Be sure to join us in celebrating the most important card in your wallet – your library card!
Scrap-n-Craft
Saturday, October 6th 9:00 am – 4:00 pm
Do you scrapbook, knit, bead or crochet? Whatever your hobby, bring your own project and we’ll provide the space and nourishment needed to keep you going! Register at the library by October 3rd. A $15 fee due at registration provides space, lunch, snacks and drinks. All proceeds support The Friends of Barclay Library. 217-672-3621

A library staff member will deliver reading materials or movies to your home once per month.
