Library Card Art Contest for Kids
Entries accepted March 1 - 31

Boulder Public Library is holding an art contest for the design of three new library cards depicting the 2019 Summer of Discovery Program theme: Outer Space, Inner Space. Show us your best out-of-this-world design or create a vision of your inner world. Three winners will be selected in April, with one winner in each age group (5 & under, 6-8 & 9-14 years old).

Based on the community’s request for expanded services and increased library use, it is currently estimated library funding will fall short by at least $3.2 million every year. The City of Boulder is exploring funding options and will poll residents by phone and survey in the weeks to come. We appreciate your feedback and hope you'll take the opportunity to weigh in. To learn more about library funding options, check out the latest Inside Boulder video coverage and visit the Funding our Library Future information page.
