TEMPE, Ariz. - The city of Tempe will display its new artist-designed
library cards during an exhibition from Feb. 1 through March 17 at the Tempe
Public Library Second Floor Gallery, 3500 S. Rural Road. A free public

connections to the library and to the city's Tempe in Motion "bus, bike and
walk" campaign.
The new cards will be available at Tempe's library circulation desks in the
Spring.
Additionally, the exhibition will feature other works by the artists, who
are b royalty, of Tempe; Jennifer Kiraly, of Fountain Hills; Mary Lucking,
of Tucson; and Kate Timmerman, of Phoenix.
