Show Us Your Library Cards! A Lawton Public Library Card Could Save You Money!

Reading is the best way to relax, to learn new things, and to grow.  I love the touch of a book, the feel of the pages turning, and the smell of ink on paper.  Get your library card today and discover new and exciting worlds!

September is Library Card Sign-Up Month, a time when public libraries nationwide come together to emphasize the value of a library card.

The Lawton Public Library has literacy resources, a digital memory center, 3-D printers, classes, databases, e-books and so much more. From online tools to in-person training, there’s always something for everyone at the library.

This year, Marley Dias, founder of #1000BlackGirlBooks, author and executive producer, is taking on a new role as honorary chair of Library Card Sign-Up Month. In her new role, Dias will promote the value of libraries and encourage everyone to get their very own library card. In recognition of Library Card Sign-Up Month, the Lawton Public Library is enlisting select local businesses to join in the festivities. Show your Card during the month of September at these participating businesses for the following discounts:

• Los Tres Amigos, 2 locations: Free drink with purchase
• Buffalo Grove Coffee Company, 605 SW E Ave: 10 percent off purchase
• Firo Fire Kissed Pizza, 3902 NW Cache Rd: 10 percent off total bill

People who don’t have library cards can stop by either library locations to get a card or apply online at lawton.biblionix.com. For more information, please call the library at 580-581-3450.
