The Purcell Public Library, 919 N. Ninth, is doing its part to help save the environment by offering eco-friendly book bags for customers. The heavy-duty bags are made of recycled material and can be used to replace plastic or paper bags to carry library materials, groceries, or personal items. Bags will be sold for $1.50 each.
“These are the same bags we gave out as part of our library card sign-up campaign last September,” said Purcell librarian Carol Andes. “They were very popular with our customers and we have had many requests to make them available for purchase.”
According to Andes, the library bags are a step-up from the reusable bags available for sale at many grocery and discount stores because they are larger, have longer handles, and include an inside pocket for library cards or ID.
“Of course, we hope people will use them to carry their books home from the library, but the bags can be used to carry everything from laundry to lunch. Some stores even offer a discount if you bring your own bags,” Andes said.
