GREENFIELD — September is Library Card Sign-up Month, and Hancock County’s local libraries are offering special programs and incentives.
At the Hancock County Public Library in Greenfield and New Palestine, for every five items a patron checks out during September, they can enter a drawing for one of two iPads.
The library is also granting fine forgiveness vouchers for up to $5, which can apply to any library fines.
There are roughly 20,300 active card holders through the HCPL. For more information on the HCPL, visit hcplibrary.org or call 317-462-5141.
