Library Card Design Contest

Framingham Library invites 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-created or hand drawn artwork using any medium—colored pencil, pen, paint, markers, and more. The Library Card Design contest coincides with the Library’s rebranding coming later this year. The Framingham Library has had the same logo and brand colors for nearly four decades but is in the process of updating those brand elements. This contest offers the community a chance to be part of the changes happening at the library.
