Some provide tickets for free admission to local attractions including museums, nature centers, and historic sites. And 92% of all libraries offer some sort of job search service help. The American Library Association has come up with a list of 60 ways to use your library card. Here are some of our favorites. You can see the entire slide show if you CLICK HERE. Download an e-book for free. More than 75% of libraries offer access to e-books. E-book readers are available for check-out at nearly 40% of libraries.Get a FREE movie.
