As September approaches, the Chandler Public Library is gearing up to join the nationwide celebration of Library Card Sign-up Month. Recognizing the invaluable resources that library cards unlocks for individuals and communities, the CPL will be offering new patrons the opportunity to sport limited-edition library card designs if they join the ranks of cardholders at their local Chandler branch throughout the month.
According to the Chandler Public Library's own proclamation, they envision themselves as more than just a repository of books—though they certainly have those in spades, what with over 240,000 physical items across their four locales and nearly 70,000 digital eBooks, audiobooks, and magazines beckoning bibliophiles digitally, the Chandler Public Library's Manager, Rachelle Kuzyk, has a broader view of the institution's role: “We’re much more than a place to find your favorite book. Whether you’re interested in learning a new language, joining a book club, or creating something extraordinary in The Makery – your library serves as a gateway to community engagement and lifelong learning.”
Indeed, the perks of being a CPL cardholder extend beyond the printed pages. From free streaming platforms like Kanopy and Freegal, serving up a healthy selection of movies and music, to checking out a Culture Pass that acts as a passport to local attractions, there's something for every stripe of leisure-looker or learning enthusiast. They also offer access to comprehensive online tools such as LinkedIn Learning and Mango Languages, not to mention reliable product insights from “Consumer Reports”.
Those interested in immersing themselves in the Chandler Public Library's wide array of offerings can head over to Chandler Library to find out more about library locations, explore the sundry programs and resources on tap, or to casually sign up for an instant eCard—just part of the CPL's commitment to serving the public with dynamic, accessible educational and cultural resources.
For further information or inquiries, reach out to Malori Heppler, the Marketing & Communications Coordinator, at 480-782-2910. She'll likely fill you in on the finer details or point you toward the next cool thing happening at the CPL, which might just be a quiet nook waiting for you and your new, stylish library card.
