Library Perks You May Not Know!

February 24, 2015
Did you know the library card is your pass to multiple resources? Yes, I'm sure you did. BUT did you know it enables users to borrow free museum passes to The Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum and The Stickley Museum at Craftsman Farms; download music, read more than 30 magazines online; access databases from home; borrow eBooks, audio books, magazines, bestsellers, music CDs and DVDs, and borrow assisted listening devices and large print books???

ABC Mouse is in the house!  You can now utilize this popular children's website for free at all our Sussex County Libraries!  ABC Mouse is geared toward ages 2 through six with fun games, activities, songs, stories and more.

Don't miss the MANY wonderful opportunities from our local libraries!  Sign up to receive the Sussex County Library newsletter each month featuring reading incentives, fabulous children's programs and events, book clubs, teen hangout sessions, technology workshops, community connections and more!

There's just something really special about a child's first library card.  And what better time than now!  Children must be at least 3 years of age.  Take a look at the upcoming children's programs and make a fun date with them.  

Don't forget...there is more to the library than just books!  Maybe you feel like seeing a new flick, trying out that new Wii game or listening to an audio book.  Great, you're in luck!  Borrow books, games, movies, audio books and more!
