30 Days Hath September, and 30 Reasons to Visit Your Library!

September is Library CardSign Up Month, and we encourage you to visit your favorite branch of the Jasper County Public Library today.

In tough economic times, your library card gives you free access to books and computers, homework help, assistance with resumes and job searches, accurate financial information, adult education information, CDs, DVDs, and much more.

Since there are 30 days in September, we have given you 30 reasons to visit your library!
