Two young creatives have had their designs picked to grace Marlborough District Library’s new children’s library card.
Elodie Taylor impressed with her colourful rainbow design while Nina O’Connor’s work also caught the judges’ eye.
Unable to decide between the two, judges picked both out of 11 entrants.
Both entries were unanimously chosen by the judging panel for their colourful vibrant design and unique creativity.
The panel felt that both these cards would be loved by new young members of the library.
Elodie came up with her design as she wanted to focus on colour.
“I’m not sure why I chose a rainbow, I just wanted to do something bright and colourful,” she says.
The ‘keep reading’ message on Nina O’Connor’s design appealed to judges with the positive messaging.
“I chose an owl as owls are known to be smart and reading makes you smart,” Nina explains.
The artwork has been sent to the printer, and the news card in circulation in late July.
