St. Paul, Minnesota – Libraries have gone loony! The city’s new “laser loon” library cards are making waves, and people can’t get enough of them. Since the design (which was a rejected entry for the new Minnesota state flag) launched just a month ago, the St. Paul Public Library system has seen a whopping 72% increase in new library accounts compared to the same time last year.
How To Get Your Hands on a Laser Loon Card
The limited-edition cards were so popular that they “sold out” shortly after their debut on February 13th. But don’t worry, the library has printed another batch to keep up with the demand. If you’re a new patron, you can snag one of these cool designs for free at about a dozen locations across the city.
My hubby Jack and I love living in Winona, Minnesota – but we sure wish we lived in St. Paul so we could snag one of these adorable library cards! They are so cute! He actually tried Googling “fake library cards” instead of “fake IDs”. When I asked him what he was doing he said he wanted a Laser Loon library card with the name “McLovin”. LOL!!
