Our Summer Reading Club may be over for this year but the Cultural Pass is still going through Sunday, September 4!
The Cultural Pass is a program that allows youth ages 0-21 to visit more than 50 arts and cultural venues in Kentuckiana for FREE! Youth can pick up their Pass from the Youth Services Department in Jeffersonville or the Clarksville library. You can register on Beanstack ahead of time but make sure to come to the library to get your physical pass or you won’t be able to use it.
This summer, JTPL is hosting a Library Card Design Contest and we want YOU to participate!
