It seems fitting to introduce a new Douglass Public Library Card design during Library Card Sign-Up month! If your library card has the old logo it will continue to work as usual, there is no need to obtain a new card. If you do not have a card for our library, stop by and fill out an application. Library cards are typically issued the day you apply. Join the 61% of Americans who say they have a public library card! FUN FACT: The Library of Congress in Washington D.C. is the largest public library in the U.S. with more than 173 million items and approximately 838 miles of bookshelves.
