The Library is launching its annual Spring Into Reading Library card sign-up drive with a contest. “It’s extremely important for the Library’s long-term survival to have high membership and strong usage statistics. Our funders need proof that the Library matters to the community. By signing up for a Library card and by borrowing books you’ll be helping us to advocate for better Library funding,” says Chief Librarian, Laura Emery. “We also wanted to do something a little special to celebrate our new logo and this contest is a great way to share it with our readers.”
Sign up for a library card before June 19th and enter to win a bag of Full Steam Coffee with a special Eastern Counties Regional Library coffee cup introducing our new logo. If you already have a library card, drop by your local branch or link site to check out a book and you’ll receive a ballot for the contest. There is a limit of one entry per cardholder.
