New library cards
The Sunnyvale Public Library unveiled five new library cards designed by children and teens, including two from Iizuka, Sunnyvale’s Sister City in Japan. The winning designs were chosen from over 200 entries in three different age categories: grades K-2, 3-5 and 6-12.
New library cards will be available while supplies last. To get a new card or replace an old one, visit the library’s customer service desk at 665 W. Olive Ave. For more information, call 408-730-7300.
