Not to be dramatic, but your art could end up on our next library card 🤭

The BPL is inviting artists of all ages to take part in a Library Card Design contest in celebration of Library Card Sign-Up Month this September!

🎨 How does it work?
One adult (18+), one teen (13-17), and one youth (0-12) winner will have their original artwork featured on official BPL cards in circulation during 2026-2027.

👥 Who can enter?
The contest is open to all BPL cardholders, with one entry permitted per person.

🖌️ What do you submit?
An original design that reflects what the library means to you and your community — perhaps an interpretation of our motto “Free to All”?

The contest will run from May 15 through June 15, 2026. Good luck!

BPL’s newest exhibition “Declarations: Printing a New Nation” is here! Let’s take a look inside...

📜For the first time ever, the BPL’s eight rare printings of the Declaration are displayed together, inviting visitors to step into a moment when American independence, and the nation itself, was still taking shape.

📍The exhibition is free to all and is located at the Leventhal Map & Education Center at the Central Library, @bplmaps.

The exhibition is made possible by the Irene Haney Creative Enrichment Fund through the Boston Public Library Fund, @bplfund.
