Library Card Design Contest

To those who submitted to Framingham Library's first ever Library Card Design Contest, thank you! We are so grateful for the entries we received. We can't thank you all enough for the thought, skill, and care that went into each design. Our panel of judges had the difficult job of narrowing down the entries to three in each category. Now comes the even harder part! It's time to vote for your favorite design in each of the categories: Youth (11 and under), Teen (12–17), and Adult (18+).

Which card will you choose? 
Vote here. One vote per person.
You can view full size images of the semi-finalist designs here.

Voting will open at 12:00am on Oct.31st and close at 5:00pm on Nov. 6th.
