Celebrate Library Card Sign-up Month with us!



When you come to the Library and sign up for a NEW library card -- that is, you have never had a card (or you're no longer in the system), you will receive 2 entries into our Library Card Sign-Up Month drawing for a $50 Snake Bite Restaurant gift card or a couple of IFPL swag bags!!
Bring someone to the Library (a friend, a child , etc.) who doesn't have a library card to get one, they get 2 entries and so do you!

If you already have an IFPL card, you still get 1 entry just for coming to the Library!
"When I got my library card, that's when my life began."
