These designs are being turned into new library cards and will be available starting Wednesday, May 30.
Thank you to all the young artists who submitted entries! All of the wonderful designs will be displayed in the hallway leading to BLDG 61 in the north building of the Main Library. This pop-up exhibition will remain through the end of May.

Recommended Read
Death of a Dishonorable Gentleman by Tessa Arlen
"In this novel, the first in a fantastic historical mystery series that takes place in 1916 England, Lady Montfort and her housekeeper, Mrs. Jackson, push the boundaries of the class system as they work closely to solve an engaging mystery. This book and the rest of the series will appeal to Downton Abbey fans."
