Combine your love for art and books this month by designing a new library card for the Thames-Coromandel District Libraries.

As part of the Thames Library's 25th anniversary celebrations, along with having your art printed on library cards around the region you could also win yourself a new Android tablet.

Original artwork in three age categories is being sought and the winner of each category will receive a new Android tablet, along with random spot prizes drawn for each category.

Library co-ordinator Linda Hayfield says they're after artwork based on the theme 'Love life, love my library'.

'Entries will be judged on creativity, design, printability and the message communicated,” says Linda.

'There is a catch though, entrants must be a member of the Thames, Mercury Bay or Tairua Library, but it's never too late to join, just come in to your local library or join online.”

The competition closes on June 30, with the finalists announced on July 3. The public will then vote for the winners on the TCDC District Library's Facebook page.
