Make the Most of Your Library Card

By , About.com Guide

In the habit of using your library card to check out books? If that's all you're doing with it, you're really missing out. Nowadays a library card can be used to access all sorts of free services and materials.

Your library card may allow you to check out:

  • new-release movies
  • e-books
  • games, puzzles and children's toys
  • magazines
  • CDs
  • audio-books
  • a museum pass (to get you into area attractions for free)

It may also allow you to:

  • use library computers and the Internet
  • access special electronic collections
  • reserve rooms (either for free or for a nominal charge)

Want to find out which of these services your local library offers? Surf over to their website or stop by your local branch to find out.
