Vote For The Next Pierce County Library Card Designs

PIERCE COUNTY, WA — The Pierce County Library System is asking the public to help choose the design for two new library cards.

Pierce Libraries say hundreds of local students have designed new library cards this year, but submissions have been whittled down into 12 finalists across two age groups — six cards designed by students age 5-11, and six designed by older students between 12 and 18 years old. One card from each age group will win and become an official Pierce County Library Card, available to the public starting in the fall.

The library system says, the students had a tough year taking classes from home amid the pandemic and worked hard on these cards, so they hope the public will take the time to recognize that hard work and pick their favorite new cards.

“This year the Card Design Contest provided parents-turned-teachers a fun art opportunity for their students while doing school at home,” said Pierce County Library Executive Director Georgia Lomax. “The choice will be difficult for Pierce County residents to choose their favorite designs—the entries reflect the creative talent of our young artists!”

You can check out the contestants and cast your vote by visiting cardcontest.pcls.us. Voting will end on July 18.
