Amazing ways your library card can save you from disaster, destruction, and certain doom

We're celebrating National Library Card Sign-up Month here at Missoula Public Library and thought we'd share some perhaps unrealized ways library cards can make your lives better. Watch our postings all month for surprising stories of disasters diverted and achievements achieved. Here's one now...

Gary** completely forgot to get his girlfriend something for her birthday, and now all the stores were closed. He had 20 minutes before she got to his house, but what could he do? Gary logged on to the library website and pulled up an electronic book of romantic poetry, which he recited to her by candlelight. His library card saved the day. Read on!

Use your card to check out electronic books through our catalog. Just follow the catalog link from our home page at www.missoulapubliclibrary.org and mark the box that says 'Check here to search only for digital/electronic content.' You can find downloadable audio books that way, too!

Just another cool thing you can do with your library card. Missoula Public Library wants you to Think...MORE!
