ONE CARD, ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES AT YOUR LIBRARY

September is library card sign up month and this year’s theme is “One Card, Endless Possibilities.” No truer words have ever been spoken, and Coos Bay Public Library (CBPL) wants you to know about all the possibilities that are open to our patrons free with a Coastline library card. When most people think about the public library, they think about books. While CBPL does have books, we also have so much more. DVDs, CDs, audio books, e-books, magazines, and of course our wonderful Library of Things are all available to Coos Bay library card holders. Library card holders also have access to our book of the month club and to online resources such as Mango, Consumer Reports, databases, and newspapers like The World.

The Library also provides community computers, Wi-Fi, one-on-one tech help and programs for all ages. Do you have kids? Bring them to storytimes, art groups, crafting clubs, maker labs, game times and lots of other family friendly programs. If you are looking for adult programming, we have you covered with a men’s group, art classes, writers’ groups, game nights, Zumba, yoga, community cooking, and so much more. Go online and take a look at our event calendar or stop by the library for a printed copy and you are sure to find something that piques your interest!

Wondering how you can get a library card and gain access to all these amazing things? It’s easy. All you need is a picture ID and proof that your address is in Coos or Curry County. That means if your ID or driver’s license has your current address on it, and that address is in Coos or Curry County, just go online or stop by the library and fill out a library card application and show us your ID. If you moved recently and haven’t updated your driver’s license or other ID, no problem. You can use a piece of mail that you have received at your new address or a lease or utility bill along with your picture ID to provide the necessary proof.

So, if you haven’t taken advantage of the many resources available through your Coastline Library Card, come to the Library or log into our website, coosbaylibrary.org, and sign up for your card to open up those possibilities!
