Special Edition MPL x Laufey Library Card
Mesa Public Library is excited to announce that we are partnering with 2X GRAMMY® Award-winning artist Laufey and her global Laufey Book Club to release a special limited-edition library card ahead of Library Card Sign-Up Month in September and in celebration of A Very Laufey Day on August 23rd!
Join us at the Mesa Express Library at Brady Park (7045 E. Monterey Ave.) from 8am to 10am on Sunday, Aug. 23 for the official launch. A limited amount of MPL x Laufey cards will be available at this event. The MPL x Laufey card will be available at all our branches starting Aug. 24 (while supplies last!).
Mesa Public Library cards are free for anyone who lives, works, or attends school in Maricopa County. Already have a Mesa Public Library card? You can swap your design for free Aug. 24 through Sept. 30!
The card launch aims to encourage more people to visit their local library, discover new books and services available, and connect with others in their community. This partnership also solidifies Laufey's role as the 2026 honorary chair for Library Card Sign-Up Month, an American Library Association initiative celebrating the power of libraries to support their communities.
The Mesa Public Library design is one of nearly 50 Laufey Book Club collaborative public library cards launching around the world in celebration of A Very Laufey Day!
Listen to Laufey's music on Freegal with your library card.
