Library Board Trustee Robin Wadley-Munier says, “Love Your Library? Tell a Friend!”
Now through November 30, your library card will be even more valuable!
Just show your library card at the box office of CSI: The Experience at the MGM Grand and get a 50% discount off the adult and child general admission tickets.
Like us on Facebook through September 30, and you’ll be automatically entered to win a Grand Prize that includes a family pack of tickets to CSI: The Experience and official merchandise.
CSI: The Experience offers the thrill of examining evidence, analyzing clues, investigating findings and solving the crime. For more information about the attraction, call 891-7006 or visit www.csiexhibit.com.
Do you have friends, family or neighbors who don’t have a library card? Let them know that September is a great time to sign up for one. They’ll not only enjoy books, movies, music, eBooks and more, but by signing up for a library card through September 30, they’ll be automatically entered to win the Grand Prize too!
Tell them they can apply for a free library card at any branch or online.
