Why Library Card Design Contests Work

Not only are library card design contests simple to run, their impact goes far beyond a new card design. Libraries consistently see increased foot traffic, repeat visits, and stronger community connection throughout the process and long after. Patrons, especially kids, get a chance to see their creativity come to life in a real and lasting way. These contests are more than cards. They create moments that bring people together and are remembered.
