September is Library Card Sign-Up Month, and Richmond Public Library (RPL) is coming in hot with incentives — the announcement of an online merch store, a poll for the first merchandise design, and a chance to win an exclusive T-shirt for yourself.
Head to your local library branch to sign up for a card from Tuesday, Sept. 2, through Tuesday, Sept. 30. After joining the library leagues, your name will be entered into a raffle for the chance to win a new RPL T-shirt.
The contest will wrap at the end of the month, and 10 winners will be announced at the beginning of October. First, the library needs help picking the design.
Following Library Card Sign-Up Month, RPL will launch its first official online merch store in mid-October, a popular request among local library lovers. We want to rep our free resource and research centers.
The online store will use the design for a variety of products, including T-shirts, sweatshirts, bags, and drinkware.
Already have a library card or wondering what the card includes, besides books? Refresh yourself on the multiverse of free resources.
