      ELPL--One World, One Card

      Here are some of the cool things you can do with your ELPL library card!  Tell us about your favorite thing to do with your library card in the comments.

      1.  Check-out a ukulele, make a viral music video, become BFFs with Taylor Swift, get into a public feud with T-Swizzle, start your own make-up line for poodles.  All made possible thanks to your library card.
      2. Check-out a Tool from the Tool Library.  Impress all your friends and family with your handi-person skills.  Get invited to every potluck and dinner party but never have to bring a dish to pass.
      3. Take home an Arduino Maker Kit, start your own company in your garage, become the next Steve Jobs, but without the turtlenecks and jeans.
      4. Check-out a Zoo Pass to Potter Park Zoo.  Enjoy a day of animal fun in the outdoors.  Catch the penguins dabbing on video and create the latest meme that everyone is sharing online.
      5. Check-out a Wifi Hotspot, take it camping, snap a picture of Bigfoot roaming the forest and become famous overnight.
