New Logo, New Look: Library Card Design Contest

Fairfax County Public Library is excited to share our new look with you!

Fairfax County Public Library logo

Debuting for Library Card Sign-Up Month in September 2025, our new logo and branding encompass the endless possibilities available at your library once you step through our doors or open a book. We truly believe that your local library is a place to imagine, discover and connect with your community.

It will take several months to change all our materials and displays in branches so pardon our dust. In the meantime, we have an exciting opportunity for you to participate in reimagining a part of your Fairfax County Public Library by helping design new kids and adult library cards!
