Charlton Public Library Wants YOU!
… to get a Library Card
September is Library Card Sign-up Month, and Charlton Library wants to put library cards into the hands of every resident who doesn’t already have a card…no matter if you are five or ninety-five years old! With a library card you can discover new and exciting worlds! Sure you can use it to borrow books, books on CD, DVDs, magazines, puzzles, museum passes, hotspots, and a whole bunch of other cool stuff (did you know we have a metal detector, ukuleles, an ice cream maker, bocce, badminton, disc golf, AND now pickleball paddles?!) A library card also gets you access to streaming movies, downloadable eBooks and audiobooks, online educational resources, Do-It-Yourself classes, concerts, and research databases! There is so much you can access with a library card…and all free to you! If you don’t already have a card, stop by Charlton Public Library during the month of September to get one and you will be entered into a drawing to win a Chromebook! Charlton Public Library is located at 40 Main Street in Charlton.
