Get a Library Card
Your library card is the most important card you'll ever own! If you already have one, that's great, but what about your child? Your spouse? Your dad?  As a key to lifelong education, a ticket to new opportunities and experiences, and an all-access pass to everything the CRRL has to offer, how can you do without? If you haven't checked out the public library recently, you're missing something great! Get one for every member of your family.

Learn and Play at the Library
Gone are the libraries with librarians shushing children for the slightest noise. Now we have libraries that encourage play and having fun, all while getting preschool-aged children ready to read. But why encourage play? Playing has multiple benefits that help children gain the skills needed to get ready to read. Find a Grow a Reader Learn & Play area near you!
