Five Hacks Your Library Card Lets You Do
As the year comes to a close, we’re revisiting some of our favorite shows from 2023. Ones that helped us feel more connected to our community and reminded us of the wealth of resources we have available right in our backyard sometimes. Like the Madison Public Library!
Did you know your little orange card can do a lot more than just check out books? It can help you grow a garden or get across town. You can digitize those old family photos or make cheap photocopies.
Tana Elias, the library’s digital services and marketing manager, lets us in on a few things you probably didn’t know your little card can do.
