FVRLibraries Announces Winners Of Library Card Design Competition - 09/16/25

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

Fort Vancouver Regional Libraries (FVRLibraries) is proud to announce the winners of its Library Card Design Competition, part of the district’s year-long 75th Anniversary celebration and released during National Library Card Sign-up Month Community members of all ages submitted artwork reflecting the theme Our Stories, Our Communities, showing how libraries connect, inspire, and celebrate the people and experiences that make up Southwest Washington.

 

More than 200 entries were received across four categories: Youth (8 and under), Tween (9–12), Teen (13–19), and Adult (20+). A panel of judges selected the winning designs, which will be featured on limited-edition FVRLibraries cards available the week of September 22, 2025.

 

The winning designs showcase the creativity and diversity of southwest Washington artists. Card designs range from a young artist's drawing of woodland animals bonding over books to an adult's artwork honoring the Columbia River’s heritage. Together, all five library cards reflect the variety of perspectives and experiences across our region. View the winning designs at www.fvrl.org/library-card-designs.
