Monroe Free Library's Real Card savings program returns in September

Forty-two local businesses participating, offering discounts on food, taxi rides, hair cuts Monroe — For the third year in a row, the Monroe Free Library is sponsoring a sales promotion called the Real Card. In September, anyone who shows a library card at a participating business will get something special in return. Forty-two area businesses are participating in the sales promotion. Library patrons who present their library cards are eligible for specials and discounts at restaurants, delis, dry cleaners and more. Even massages, humidors and clothing alterations can be had at a discount. Participating businesses have yellow placards in their front windows that proclaim, “Use Your Real Card Here!” A list of partners and the discounts they’re offering is available at the library’s circulation desk, in the center spread of its newsletter, By The Millpond, and on its Web site (www.monroefreelibrary.org). Most retail stores and restaurants are offering either a flat percentage (Amendola’s Pizza gives 20 percent off of any order) or a special (V & J Deli gives a free loaf of Italian bread with any purchase of more than $5). Businesses that offer services are typically offering discounted rates (Monroe Taxi will discount any ride by a dollar when the card is shown). The library is offering bright yellow “Real Cards” to all new patrons, but any library card (including the “white” cards and “gray” cards distributed in the past) from any RCLS member library qualifies its holder to save money. Real card discounts don’t apply to items that are already discounted. The library does ask that patrons show their library card when they’re placing their order.
