Get a library card, display your yard sign and you could win a $25 gift certificate!
New cardholders and existing cardholders who display their Library Champion yard signs in September will have a chance to win a $25 gift card to a local business. We’ll randomly select three yard sign winners each week during the month of September, starting Sept. 5 and running through Sept. 29. Prizes include $25 gift certificates to area businesses. Winners must be active cardholders, and their accounts must be in good standing. Winners will be announced on on the library’s Facebook page, and will also be contacted by library staff.
