Show your library card for great deals and discounts!

September 2012 is National Library Card Sign-Up Month, as designated by the American Library Association. Public libraries and the endless array of resources they offer to library cardholders add tremendous value to their communities. A library card acts like a ticket to a world of literature, research, technology tools, meeting and study space, live entertainment, the fine arts, and much more.

To celebrate, the library has partnered with nine Barrington Area businesses for a fun campaign that adds even more value to your library card. From September 1 - 30, 2012, displaying a Barrington Area Library card at one of these participating businesses will mean big savings. To get the details on these amazing offers, download the flyer (PDF) or stop in and pick up a copy at our public service desks (available September 1, 2012).

Participating businesses include:

  • Acacia Organics
  • Barrington Martial Arts
  • bathhaus
  • Felde Chiropractic
  • McDonald's (Barrington only)
  • Mia Sorella
  • Nature's Select Pet Products
  • Norton's U.S.A.
  • Rainbow Records

Don't have a card? Stop in and register - it only takes a few minutes! The card is your passport to savings year-round, because once September has passed, you can still use it for free books, DVDs, e-books, audiobooks, song downloads, and so much more. Wondering if your old card is still valid? "Barrington Area Library cards might be black, green, blue or even yellow! As long as your information with us is current, your library card remains valid with us and with our local business partners," states Karen McBride, Head of Public Information at the library. Not sure if your card is up-to-date? Come on over and we'll be happy to help. Offer applies to Barrington Area Library cards only.

Please patronize and thank our business partners! Shopping locally really makes a difference in the community.
