Vote for your favourite library cards online or in person

Everyone is invited to help choose new library cards for children and young people by voting for their favourite designs, created by locals, in the Design a Library Card People’s Choice Vote.

Through their votes, members of the public will choose the top three finalists in each age category: Five years and under, six to 12 years and 13-17 years.

Fraser Coast Regional Councillor Phil Truscott said more than 130 entries were received from Fraser Coast Libraries members.

“We’re delighted to involve the youngsters in our community in creating new library card designs and we’d like to thank everyone who entered,” he said.

“It’s terrific to see their artistic talents and I’d encourage everyone to check out the artwork online or at their nearest branch and to cast a vote for their favourite.”

Cr Truscott said three winners would ultimately be chosen by library staff from the three finalists in each category.

“The winners will receive a $50 gift voucher and see their designs printed on library cards which will then be available to new members at each branch,” he said.

Voting will close at 4pm on Saturday, November 5.

People can vote online at https://frasercoast.engagementhub.com.au/fcrc-design-a-library-card or in person at library branches in Hervey Bay, Maryborough, Tiaro, Howard and Burrum Heads.
