Limited edition library card designs are here

Published on February 18, 2026

In 2025 Menlo Park Library called upon community members of all ages to submit original artwork inspired by the theme “My Library Adventure in Menlo Park.” A panel of curators chose five designs to print on a series of limited edition library cards, and we're thrilled to announce the new cards have arrived!

Thank you to our selected artists, Adele C., Cleo L., Emma F., Jeanne L., and Naomi L., as well as every artist who submitted their designs.

The new cards are available to residents of Menlo Park. Eligible library patrons who already have a library card whose barcode begins with 29044 may exchange their current card for one of the new designs at Menlo Park Library and Belle Haven Library. Production was sponsored by generous funding from the Menlo Park Library Foundation.
