September is the perfect time to think about apples, footballs, and Library Cards? Yes, the ninth month of the year is National Library Card Sign-Up Month, and now, it’s easier than ever to obtain one. Simply visit our website or swing by the Library with your current ID to get started. If you live in the City of Eaton Rapids, Eaton Rapids Township, or Hamlin Township, you qualify for a free three-year Eaton Rapids Area District Library Card! While there are hundreds of reasons why you should have a library card, in this post, we’ll focus on just nine of the many ways you can be saving money with your ERADL Card.
