Celebrate the One Card to Rule Them All!
This September, Santa Barbara Public Library (SBPL) invites the community to celebrate National Library Card Sign-Up Month and discover the one card to rule them all. To mark the occasion, SBPL is unveiling three unique new library card designs, each featuring the work of a local artist and honoring the vibrant communities we serve. These new designs are available at all SBPL locations and the Library on the Go. Don’t miss this chance to carry a piece of local art in your pocket while unlocking a world of resources and connection!
