Show your Palatine Library card for savings

Palatine Library District is excited to partner with nearly 20 local businesses for the annual Show Your Card for Savings program. From Sept. 1-30, district cardholders can present their Palatine Library cards at local businesses for deals, discounts, and freebies.

Library members can enjoy deals from a variety of businesses, including automotive, educational, fitness and recreational, food and drink, health and beauty and shopping. For a full list of participating businesses, visit palatinelibrary.org/showyourcard.

This program reminds residents of the value of a library card. In addition to accessing thousands of resources from print and online books, articles, magazines, programs, and technology with your card, having a library card helps residents reconnect with the community by supporting these local businesses.
