Framingham Library Invites Community to Redesign Library Cards

Framingham Public Library is inviting all library cardholders to help redesign its library cards. Between September 24 and October 24, cardholders of any age can submit original artwork for consideration. Contestants can create computer-generated or hand-drawn artwork using any medium—colored pencil, pen, paint, markers, and more.

The Library Card Design Contest coincides with the Library’s upcoming rebranding later this year. Framingham Library has had the same logo and brand colors for nearly four decades, but is now in the process of updating its visual identity. This contest offers the community a unique opportunity to help shape the new look of the Library.
