We are already seeing an upsurge in new card registration as NIU gets back in session. Everyone who lives within the city limits is enetitled to a free library card. A library card gives you access to books, magazines, DVDs, CDs as wll as Internet access, professional librarian help with searching and a lovely building. This morning, when I came to work, I noticed someone reading at one of our new picnic tables in the “grove” as we call it. Enjoy!
