Do you have a design idea for a new library card? Share it now!

We're adding three new library cards for customers to choose from this winter – but first, customers need to help us design the new cards. Beginning TODAY and running until 5 p.m. Friday, October 27, customers in three age categories – kids (5-12), teens (13-17) and adults (18+) can submit their designs.
