Library Card Sign-Up
Month
a Smashing Success!
* More than 500 new library patrons
registered
in September! *
* Special thanks to all of our
partners
in the business community!
*
| September was the most successful Library
Card Sign-Up Month in the history of the Wauconda
Area Library! This year, 531 new
patrons were registered for library cards during
this one-month period. Hundreds more
received replacement cards or keychain
cards.
More than 110
participating businesses (click for entire
list)throughout the library district offered
discounts or freebies when their customers
presented Wauconda Area Library cards during the
month of September.
Drawings were held
on Friday, October 1 for 38 lucky winners of
prizes that were donated by some of the
participating businesses. Grand Prize
winners each received a $25 Barnes & Noble
gift certificate (4 categories - child, teen,
adult and a lucky FlashScan user).
Special
thanks to those businesses who contributed prizes
for these drawings: Fantastic Sam's (free
haircuts/style), The Golf Farm (free
mini-golf certificates), Hoffman's Garden
Center (beautiful mums), Papa Murphy's
(free pizzas), Sunshine Flowers (2 kitchen
utensil vases with spoons), SunSplash Tan
Spa (free tanning sessions) and the Volo
Auto Museum (free admissions).
Special
thanks also to Culver's - they donated 500
free scoop or cone tokens and the tokens were
given away daily at random to patrons at the
Circulation
Desk. |

A Record-Breaking Month for
Voter Registration
at the Library!
The
Wauconda Area Library set a new record for voter
registration at the library during the month of
September, accepting registrations from more than 500
voters. The library has provided voter
registration as a standard library service for many
years, but we have never seen such an enthusiastic
response before.
This year, the library
participated in
a statewide effort titled http://www.nsls.info/issues/VoterRegistration/.
The project was supported by the League of Women Voters
of Illinois, the Illinois State Library and area
libraries and library systems. |
