Thanks to the generosity of CityLink, Peoria Public Library patrons are able to get more mileage out of their library card — literally.

Flash your library card and take public transportation for free for the entire month of September!

Participating libraries include: Peoria Public Library, Peoria Heights Public Library, Pekin Public Library and Fondulac District Library in East Peoria.

Beginning Sept. 1 through Sept. 30, just show your card and ride on CityLink’s regular bus routes for free. Must show your card every time you ride.

This generous partnership helps celebrate that September is National Library Card Sign-up month. We call it Fine Free + Fare Free because all the participating libraries are fine free. The fare free part is pretty obvious.

Don’t have a library card? It’s super easy to sign up for one.

Visit any Peoria Public Library location and bring a photo ID and piece of mail showing your name and current address. That’s all you need. The process takes minutes.

You can do a lot of traveling with that little card — all around town on a CityLink bus or, even better, travel the world and to universes you only imagine with all the library brings you.
