What’s one of the best investments you can make? A card at the Stillwater Public Library! This smart card gives you access to thousands
of books, eBooks, audios, journals, the highest quality databases, classes on important
topics, exciting programs and more.
Starting this week, Stillwater Public Library will celebrate
National Library Card Sign-up Month. The
observance started in 1987 when President Reagan's Secretary of Education,
William Bennett, challenged the nation to get every child a library card, and
then get them to use it.
Since then, a library card has become the most important
school supply of all by getting essential resources to all community members
and teaching children responsibility through borrowing and returning
material. And with the 4-10x return on
investment that libraries yield, kids get to see a positive example of the tax
system at work.
So, bring the whole family down to the library this
month. Library cards are free to those
who live, work or go to school in Payne County.
And they are simple to get--just come in with a photo ID and something
with your name and address, like a utility bill or your driver's license. Fill out one short form and your card can be
issued on the spot!
