Library and Recreation Card Design Contest |

The Library and Community Services Department values community input and engagement, and we want your help in designing six new cards for users of our libraries and recreation centers. Our goal is to have TWO card designs selected in each category: kids, teen, and adult. The kids and teen cards will double as library cards and recreation cards. So get inspired and get going! We plan to have new cards in time to celebrate "September is Library Card Month." The deadline to turn in card design entries is Sunday, July 23 at 6:00 pm.
