Library Modernization Project Design Contest

Congratulations to the winners of Love Your Pacifica Libraries Design Contest! 

We’re thrilled to announce the winners of our recent sticker and bookmark design contest! This community-wide initiative invited Pacifica residents of all ages to share their creativity and love for our local libraries through original designs. 
 
We collected 44 bookmark and 37 sticker entries, each one a unique reflection of the imagination, artistic talent, and deep appreciation our community has for Pacifica’s libraries. The response was inspiring, and we want to thank everyone who took the time to participate. 
 
At the July 9, 2025 meeting of the Library Advisory Committee (LAC) at Sharp Park Library, we celebrated the four winning designs: 
 
  • Claire (age 7) – Winning sticker design featuring her pet hamster Rosie reading a book 
  • Emmaline (age 8) – Winning bookmark design showcasing her favorite spots in Sanchez Library 
  • Aryanna (age 12) – Winning bookmark illustrating the magical journeys books can take us on—from space to islands and dragon-filled realms 
  • Anonymous artist – Winning sticker design depicting a book at the beach at sunset, capturing the beauty of reading and our coastal setting 
 
Each winner received a $50 Shop Pacifica gift card, and their artwork will be shared at both Sharp Park Library and Sanchez Library, as well as at various community events where the LAC is conducting outreach for the Pacifica Libraries Modernization Project. 
 
Stop by Sanchez Library or Sharp Park Library to pick up a FREE winning bookmark and sticker. 
 
The community’s love for our libraries, from children to adults, shows why we believe our residents deserve modern, accessible, and inspiring library spaces that support learning, connection, and creativity for generations to come. 
 

Thank you again to all who participated and congratulations to our talented winners!
