Discover All That Libraries Offer with a Library Card

September is Library Card Sign Up Month

(Crete Public Library District)

Crete Public Library invites everyone to discover the incredible resources and opportunities available by signing up for a library card. As an extra incentive for Library Card Sign Up Month, Crete Public Library is sponsoring a drawing for two Amazon Fire tablets! During September, everyone who receives a card for the first time or renews an expired card will be entered in the drawing.

Today’s libraries are vibrant community centers offering much more than just books. A guitar, an ice cream maker, a canning kit, and cake pans are all available to check out from the Crete Public Library’s Beyond Books collection. There’s truly something for everyone at Crete Public Library—programs for all ages, job search assistance, homework help, book clubs, author talks, story times, a community garden, and the Crete Creative Art Gallery. Whether you're looking to enhance your skills, find valuable information, or connect with fellow avid readers, a library card unlocks a world of possibilities.

Getting a library card is easy and is an essential step toward academic success and lifelong learning. Everyone should have one! A Crete Public Library card may be used at any public library in Illinois. Learn more about how to get a library card by visiting cretelibrary.org/library-card-information.
