Exciting things are happening for kids who sign up for their free library card this month. As in previous years, we are partnering with McDonald’s, and children who visit the library and sign up for, or show, a library card receive coupons for free McDonald’s treats and a Reading Challenge Visit Card to mail in to enter a prize drawing.
