As a Books 24x7 test site, KCLS is helping shape the future of how e-books are offered to libraries and library users. The KCLS Library Card Campaign finished the year with flying colors - five sets of colorful library cards in the hands of thousands of children and adults. The campaign, sponsored by the KCLS Foundation, focused on providing each child in the community with a new library card and with information on accessing resources for homework help. By year's end, more than 50,919 people signed up for new cards, including 20,241 children. More than 121,000 people also traded in their former blue library card for a new design.
