A library card ... man's other best friend ... is your first step toward lifelong learning, job readiness, and academic achievement. Where else can you access the world for free?
This September marks the 30th anniversary of Library Card Sign-up Month, a time when the American Library Association joins public libraries nationwide to highlight the value of a library card. Throughout the school year, public librarians and library staff will assist parents and caregivers with saving hundreds of dollars on educational resources and services for students. From free access to STEAM programs/activities, educational apps, in-person and virtual homework help, technology workshops to the expertise of librarians, a library card is one of the most cost effective back to school supplies available.
We can learn a lot from man's best friend. Do you have your library card? Then stop by one of our locations today!

Featured Title
Enemy of the State (Mitch Rapp #16), a thriller by Kyle Mills
Enemy of the State
is Kyle Mills' exciting third contribution to the late Minnesotan Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp series. After 9/11, the United States made one of the most secretive and dangerous deals in its history. The evidence against the powerful Saudis, who coordinated the attack, would be buried. In return, King Faisal would promise to keep the oil flowing and deal with the conspirators in his midst. When the king's own nephew is discovered funding ISIS, the U.S. president suspects the Saudis never intended to live up to their agreement. He decides the royalty needs to be sent a message and that Mitch Rapp is just the man to deliver it. The catch? Rapp must do it entirely on his own.
