WINNERS IN NEW LIBRARY CARD SIGN UPS

     Kim Smith, SE Library Associate, adds to SE's fast growing number of JPL cardholders.

"The Southeast Library now has a fun way to encourage Free Library Card sign ups. We use a station that mimics Charles Shultz’s Peanuts character, Lucy, and her ‘Advice 5₵’.  The yellow frame fits directly over a cart, so it can be rolled anywhere in the library. Its main feature is it makes people smile, and library card sign ups are climbing again at Southeast," reports SE Manager Carisia Rooney. 

 
Richard Mott, who is tracking new library card sign ups apprised us, March 12, 2019, "For the second week in a row, Southeast had the most new cards with 67."  Richard also cheered these libraries for their outstanding JPL card sign ups (some things are worth a repeat):
