In celebration of national Library Card Sign-Up Month in September, the Anderson County Library System is giving away two $100 Visa gift cards.
To enter, pick up a “Libraries Empower” bookmark from any library branch throughout Anderson County, fill it out including how libraries have empowered you or your family, and return it to your library by Thursday, September 30.
If you don’t have a library card, September is the perfect time to apply. Library cards are free to anyone who lives, works, owns property, or goes to school in Anderson County.
And you can get more than just books with your library card. The Anderson County Library System circulates passes to SC State Parks, the Children’s Museum of the Upstate, book club kits, fishing equipment, learning tablets for children, and a lot more. Your library card even allows you to 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. Visit any Anderson County Library System branch to sign up or renew a library card. Find more information online at andersonlibrary.org.
