If you're reading this . . . you may already have a Curtis Library card!

But maybe you have a new neighbor who hasn't been to Curtis yet?  Or a friend or co-worker who has been meaning to get a Curtis Library Card but just hasn't had a chance to get here yet.

SEPTEMBER is National LIBRARY CARD SIGN UP Month.

It's a great time for all Brunswick and Harpswell residents to pick up a FREE Curtis Library card and take advantage of all the free borrowing and other services available to our community of readers.

And when you refer someone to get a library card during the month of SEPTEMBER, you and the new cardholder will each get a free sample bag of our 23 Pleasant Coffee -- made exclusively for Curtis by local organic roasters Wicked Joe Organic Coffee.

There are three easy ways to get a Curtis Library Card this month:

1. Apply online HERE. Write the name of the patron who referred the new cardholder in the top line of the MAILING ADDRESS box, so we can thank you both for being a part of the Curtis Community. Your new card number will be emailed or phoned to you within 2-3 business days, and you can pick up your library card during business hours by showing an ID and proof of residency.

2. Visit the Lending Desk at Curtis Library during business hours with an ID and proof of residency and start using your new Curtis Library card on-the-spot!

3. Stop by one of our Pop-Up Library Card Sign Up Month tables on the following dates and times:

Wednesday, September 7 at Curtis Library's Books & Brews Book Club at Flight Deck Brewing at Brunswick Landing from 5-7:00 pm
