If you're planning to give a tablet or smartphone as a gift this holiday season, we have the perfect stocking-stuffer idea for you. Instead of just handing over the device, why not remind your gift recipient about the amazing benefits of having a library card?

The library "gift card" is not your typical gift card. It's a way to let your loved ones know that with a library card, they have access to a world of free resources and entertainment. Whether they're into e-books, audiobooks, movies, or music, the library has it all.

"We wanted to create something special that goes beyond the traditional gift cards," says Jane Smith, the library director. "By giving a library 'gift card,' you're not just giving a present; you're giving the gift of knowledge and exploration."

To make it even more appealing, the library has created printable gift cards in two sizes. You can choose between a 3 x 2" or a 5 x 4" card, depending on your preference. Simply print out the card of your choice and include it with your gift. It's a small gesture that can have a big impact.

"We wanted to make it easy for people to give the library card as a gift," explains John Johnson, the library's marketing coordinator. "By providing printable options, people can customize the card to fit their needs and make it personal."

But that's not all. The library has also created an 8.5 x 11" flyer that features all the downloadable options available to library cardholders. This flyer can be printed out and included with the gift card, giving the recipient a glimpse into the wide range of digital content they can access.

"We have a fantastic collection of e-books, audiobooks, magazines, and even online courses," says Sarah Davis, the library's digital resources manager. "By giving them this flyer, you're opening their eyes to a whole world of possibilities."

So, this holiday season, consider taking your gift-giving game to the next level by giving the library "gift card." It's a thoughtful present that not only shows your loved ones that you care, but also encourages them to explore, learn, and grow.

Remember, as the saying goes, "The best gift you can give someone is a lifetime of learning."
