Library Card Sign Up Month, celebrated nationally, begins at the Saline County Library starting September 1st. Throughout the month, all members of the community who live, work, go to school, or own property in Saline County are encouraged to sign up for a free library card, renew their existing expired library cards, or simply use their current active library card.

Taking this initiative one step further, the Saline County Library is partnering with an array of local businesses to encourage library card registration and local commerce. Any customer who shows their library card at participating businesses are eligible for exclusive discounts.
Patrons who support multiple local Saline County businesses can check off squares on their BINGO card. Participants can pick up a BINGO card at any Saline County Library location or online at www.SalineCountyLibrary.org/
The Saline County Library is partnering with 52 businesses for Library Card Sign Up Month. Some of the many businesses participating in Library Card Sign Up Month include restaurants like Whole Hog, Chicken Salad Chick, Texas Roadhouse, and Pasta J’s, shopping venues including Down South Hat Co., Baker’s Fine Jewelry, Relics Tattoo, Haskell Hardware and Sport Shop, and entertainment locations including Dave & Busters, Empire Kids, and Archangel Games.
