New Library Cards Are Here!

The Lincoln Public Library has changed the style of its library cards. We now offer colour plastic cards with a lovely view of a vineyard which was taken by James Wagner, one of the library's staff members. In addition, the cards come with 'mini cards' that can be attached to a keyring. This is very convenient, especially for those of you who come to the library during a walk without a purse or wallet.

If you have a library, you can replace your card with the new one for a cost of only $3.
