Starting tomorrow, the Jefferson-Madison Regional Library wants you to get a free library card, and you know what? You oughtta. The card—designed through last year’s Design Marathon at the Charlottesville Community Design Center—gets you much more than just books.
- Check out music CDs
- Use the internet in all branches of the library system
- Use computer word processing in all branches
- Access online databases that the library subscribes to
Plus, it’s pretty snazzy looking:
Looking even further into the future, the Library’s also got a "10 in 10" event in October—the 10th month, you’ll recall—where you’ll receive 10 percent off stuff you buy at area businesses, just for signing up for a free library card. Learn more about that here.
Don’t forget to take out lots of books.
