In celebration of the 5th anniversary of the opening of the Downtown Library and Community Learning Center, the Hayward Public Library (HPL) invites the community to submit designs for a future library card. One winning design in each of the five categories will be printed and made available to HPL patrons in Fall 2024.

Participants may submit up to three entries each. All submissions are due by 11:59pm on Monday, July 15, 2024. Entries will be accepted via email at Li*************@ha********.gov and in-person at either library branch.
To participate, entrants must have a current Hayward Public Library card and reside, work, or attend school in Hayward.
