New Library Card Design

Library cards impact your life and save you money!     

If you or a family member do not have a library card, September is the time to get one. Many people may think that a library card is just about checking out books, but books aren't the only thing we have to offer. In addition to an amazing selection of books for all ages, we also have popular DVDs, CDs, magazines, audio books, downloadable e-books, free Wi-Fi and Internet access, computer classes and study rooms. We offer a wide variety of programs for all ages throughout the year, and we partner with local area schools, daycares and senior care facilities to provide outreach services. Our well-trained staff is available to assist you with using computers, researching topics for homework or personal interest and assisting you in exploring career and job-hunting resources.     

A library card provides you with opportunities that impact your life and save you money. Did you know that a Pasadena Public Library card is free? All you have to do is visit one of our two locations, fill out a short application and provide proof of identification and address. Children and teens under age 18 require a parent be present to sign the application. The only time you pay is if you lose or damage an item, or if you don't return borrowed materials on time. Faxing and scanning services, copying, printing and meeting rooms are provided at minimal cost to registered card holders and visiting customers. If you are interested in finding out how much your library card could save you each year, try the library value calculator developed by the Maine State Library (http://www.maine.gov/msl/services/calculator.htm). I found out I save up to $15,000 each year just by using my library card.
