The Hamilton East Public Library is calling on local businesses to join the third year of its “Show Your Library Card & Save” campaign, an annual effort that pairs National Library Card Sign-Up Month with deals for cardholders at businesses across Hamilton County.

The campaign runs throughout September. During the month, residents are encouraged to sign up for a library card — or dust off one they already have — and present it at participating businesses to claim offers available only to HEPL cardholders.

Businesses that take part create a special offer for cardholders, which can range from discounts and free items with purchase to other promotions of their choosing. In exchange, the library promotes participating businesses through its website, social media, email newsletters and other campaign materials.

“Library Card Sign-Up Month is an opportunity to celebrate one of the most valuable cards in your wallet while also supporting the businesses that help our community thrive,” said Kelsey Sweet, HEPL’s director of marketing and communications. “We’re excited to partner with local businesses to encourage library use, strengthen community connections, and drive residents to explore what Hamilton County has to offer.”

Now in its third year, the program has become a recurring partnership between the library and area merchants.

Businesses interested in joining can learn more and submit an offer at this link.  To appear in the printed Discover Guide, offers must be submitted by June 22. Offers received by August 10 will still be included in the campaign’s digital promotions.

The Hamilton East Public Library serves Fishers and Noblesville, offering story-times, programs and special events alongside community-driven partnerships intended to connect residents of all ages with resources and opportunities.
