September is Library Card Sign-Up Month and the Munising Library is ramping up for it to be the most successful Sign-Up Month ever! Everyone who signs up for a card in the month of September will earn an automatic entry into our Fall Reading Gift Bag Drawing and will also receive an MSPL tote bag filled with info about all the library services and offerings. Mini drawings throughout the month for new cardholders will feature library swag, books, and other items. If you have a library card that you have not used inside the library in over 5 years, it is most likely no longer valid and will need to be renewed or replaced as well. Your new card will qualify you for the drawings too! Stop in during September and find out why a library card is the handiest item in your wallet.
