Sign up for Read Local, Shop Local Today

Starting this year, Read Local, Shop Local is a rewards program run from the library that motivates Altadenans to visit and “check in” with local participating businesses. We provide interested library users with a rewards card that they use when they check in at participating businesses. The business checks a box for each visit and posts a monthly library flyer.

In return, we feature the business in our monthly in-library display, include it on the Read Local, Shop Local webpage, and spotlight the business in an issue of our eConnect newsletter. For details about the promotional benefits and to sign up, go to www.altadenalibrary.org/shoplocal/business).
