You can check out books from the San Diego Public Library with a new cyborg-themed library card that is officially licensed by Comic-Con International.
The library is offering three different cards in limited quantities Thursday at all 36 city locations and the library’s booth 5523 at Comic-Con.
The designs were created by members of the library’s graphic novel book clubs. The artists are:
- Vince Alvendia, a freelance artist who is influenced by a range of sources including Disney and animae
- Bob McKeone, a comic book enthusiast who frequently works in pencil and applies inks and colors digitally
- Attiba Royster, an illustrator and designer whose work features pop-culture topics and draws inspiration from graffiti art and hip-hop culture. One of his designs was included in the 2016 Comic-Con International souvenir book.
The card is free to those applying for a library card for the first time, as well as current library cardholders who want to change their active card.
There is a $2 fee for adult cards and $1 for children’s cards.
