Join us in kicking off National Library Week with a ceremony to unveil the six winning designs at East Library!

Refreshments will be provided, and new library cards will be available at the end of the ceremony. If you already have a library card, switching your existing card will cost $1 and you will exchange your existing number for a new one.

The contest in January had tremendous participation from our community. We received 814 entries, including paintings, collages, photographs, pen and marker illustrations, colored pencil art, digital art, mixed media, and other art forms. Our Communications team loved receiving your submissions and seeing the outstanding creativity of the people living in El Paso County. Narrowing it down to select winners proved to be a difficult task, and we expanded our target from four to six new cards. The six winners were notified in February.

Centennial Elementary School submitted 53 of the designs after running the Design Contest as a school-wide contest (which received over 300 submissions not included in the 814 received by the Library). The school's student body voted on their top favorites to send to the Library. People of all ages living in El Paso County (except for Security-Widefield, which has a different library system) submitted designs inspired by the Library, the community, or the Pikes Peak region.

The gallery of all submissions will go live that morning at ppld.org/library-card-contest

Thank you to HR Meininger Company for sponsoring a $100 gift card for each winner!
