This month is Library Card Sign-Up Month and to celebrate, the Tarpon Springs Public Library is offering a chance to win a Google Nexus 7 tablet when you register for a new card our Library this September. The Friends of the Tarpon Springs Public Library is sponsoring this prize drawing to promote the collections of downloadable e-books, audiobooks, and music accessible through the Library.
Drawings are open to Pinellas County residents who
are first-time card registrants. Official drawing rules are available at
the Library. Free bookmarks and other promotional giveaways will also be
offered at the Tarpon Springs Public Library during September.
When you sign
up for a Pinellas Public Library Cooperative (PPLC) card, you gain access to
countywide collections of digital audiobooks and e-books. In addition, free downloadable music is
available through the Tarpon Springs Public Library and several other PPLC
member libraries. Other benefits of a
library card include being able to check out books, magazines, CDs, and DVDs
and to use online research databases.

app is also now being offered with a variety of resources to meet your library
needs. The Pinellas Online Portal (POP)
app is provided through the Pinellas Public Library Cooperative. To download the PPLC POP app, type in
