Why Have a Library Card? SimplyE is one great reason

March 11, 2019/ Michael Blackwell

Ms. Caroline Biggs of Apartment Therapy has released a list of 8 great reasons to have a library card, and she included the “one all to rule them all,” SimplyE. None of her reasons might be news to those in the library world, but it’s always nice to see the perks of library cards shared widely. Thanks, Ms. Biggs!
