Not only will your library card let you check out all kinds of books, movies, CDs and other material for free, during September it will get you discounts at more than 100 Northern Kentucky businesses. To celebrate National Library Card Sign Up Month all month long, the businesses – including restaurants, hair salons, retailers and others -- are offering discounts and freebies to anyone who shows their new or existing library card. Library cards are easy to get and free. All you need is a photo ID with your current address. If your ID does not have your current address, you can bring a piece of mail that has been postmarked in the last 30 days. Just stop by the Boone, Campbell, Grant or Kenton County library to get your card or pull the card you have out of your wallet. Then visit any participating business in Boone, Campbell, Grant and Kenton counties during September for your discount or freebie. For a complete list of participating businesses and the discounts offered, pick up a brochure at any participating businesses or participating libraries or visit www.kentonlibrary.org/images/2009/savemoney.pdf
