Design a library card for Herefordshire

Herefordshire's libraries are on the lookout for readers with style to help design some new library cards.

The ten library cards currently in use have proved extremely popular with readers, but members of staff are often asked if the cards could have something which reflects the beauty of the county.

"So now's the time to produce a photograph, drawing, collage or picture that show reading, libraries or Herefordshire or all three," said the council's assistant cultural services manager for libraries Kate Murray.

There are no age categories and no limitations to the style of the designs.

The competition will finish on June 30 when all entries have to be handed in or submitted online to librarycompetitions@herefordshire.gov.uk.

The judging will take place in July.

This event is also being run as part of The Big Picture which is running a world record attempt to collect 100,000 photos to create a piece of public art.

Photographic submissions for the cards can also be added to this attempt.

All the winning entries will receive a prize as well as being seen by thousands on the new cards and be featured in an exhibition at Ross-on-Wye library in August.

Competition entry forms available at every library and can be found at www.herefordshire.gov.uk/libraries
