Getting a library card is very simple. Briggs Public Library serves the residents of the City of St. Johns, Bingham, Greenbush, Bengal, Dallas, Olive, Riley and Westphalia Townships. If you live in one of these governmental units you are eligible for a library card. All you need to do is stop by the Library with documentation of your current address, it could be a driver\u2019s license or a bill, and fill out the registration forms. Parents need to complete the forms for their minor children. A Library card provides children with books and technological resources to assist them in having a successful school year and Library cards are a wonderful tool to make use of in tough economic times. Consider getting a card for yourself or your family members this month.<br \/>\n<strong>Fall Fundraiser<\/strong><br \/>\nJoin us for our Fall Fundraising Event featuring Linda Hundt owner of Sweetie-licious Bakery Caf\u00e9 on Friday, September 10th at 6:30pm here in the library.

The cost is $10 per person with tickets available from staff at the Circulation desk or at the door the night of the event. Linda\u2019s award winning pies will be available to buy whole or by the slice at the fundraiser. Proceeds will be used for the purchase of Library materials.<br \/>\n<strong>Lapsit Storytime<\/strong><br \/>\nYou can still register for &#8220;Fetch Your Favorite&#8221; Lapsit Storytime!
