Celebrate Library Card Sign-Up Month with Discounts All September
Formerly known as “Show Me Your Library Card,” the program, now called “Power of the Card,” celebrates National Library Card Sign-Up Month by connecting library users with discounts at participating businesses across central Arkansas.
Power of the Card has expanded to include the regions surrounding the Central Arkansas Library System, Faulkner County Library, North Little Rock Public Library System, the Pine Bluff/Jefferson County Library System, the Saline County Library, and, of course, the Garland County Library.
In Garland County alone, dozens of businesses have generously offered deals and discounts to library patrons who simply present their library card. These specials include offers such as free admission, dollar amount, or percentage off a purchase, free or discounted services, and more. A full list of participating businesses and their discounts will be posted to the Library’s website, www.gclibrary.com/powerofthecard, by the end of August. Power of the Card spans all of September, so plan to visit partner businesses accordingly.
Don’t have a library card? There’s no better time than now to get one. Garland and Saline County residents can apply for a full-access library card in person at the library or apply for a digital card online.
For more information about all of the library’s services and offerings, visit www.gclibrary.com, call 501-623-4161, or visit the library in person at 1427 Malvern Avenue in Hot Springs.
