New library membership cards launched

Date published: 11 June 2009

School pupils played an important part in creating Bury libraries’ new junior membership cards.

The library service had asked all schools in the borough to put forward designs, and more than 1,000 entries were received.

The winners were Isaac Mason (aged 11) from St Stephen’s Primary School in Bury, and Brenda Achieng (aged 13) from Prestwich Arts College.

As well as the two new junior membership cards, there is a new adult card which features the new library branding plus key fob.

The Mayor of Bury, Councillor Sheila Magnall, officially launched the cards at Bury Central Library, when she presented Isaac and Brenda with framed copies of their winning designs and a gift of £200 for their schools.
