Library Cards Open Doors
September is Library Card Sign-up Month, and throughout it we'll be showing you the many ways in which having a library card can open doors to exploration, inspiration, and endless possibility...plus save you money! Follow us on Facebook for ways to put your library card to good use that go well beyond borrowing books.
Don't have a library card? This September, kids who sign up for their first IPPL card will receive a specially-designed card just for kids and a kid-sized book bag. Those renewing their card will get a temporary tattoo featuring Ippo, the library's mascot. Adults who sign up for a library card or renew an expired one during September will get IPPL BUCK$ redeemable for fines and rentals. |

Library Anywhere App
Do you use our Library Anywhere app? If so, please note that we will be discontinuing its use on Oct. 1. We are currently investigating other apps for searching our catalog, and hope to introduce a new product this winter. In the meantime, you can use the library's website, ippl.info, which is mobile responsive for ease of use on devices such as smartphones and tablets. We apologize for any inconvenience.
