DPL on a Mission to Get Every Detroiter a Library Card

Only 20% of Detroiters have library cards, and the Detroit Public Library has launched a campaign to change that. The goal of the campaign is to get library cards into the hands of 41,000 more residents. The effort will end in April during National Library Week.

The DPL will focus its campaign on the many benefits of owning a library card, including access to library materials from all over the state, internet and printer access, tax preparation materials, discounts to museums and state parks, and book clubs.

If you don’t already have a free DPL library card, make it one of your New Year’s resolutions to get one. The friendly folks at the Jefferson Branch will be happy to help you. See the article from the Detroit Free Press here for more information.
