Add value to your library service with a personalized library card
In addition to managing your library, library cards are also a tool to promote your services.
By instantly issuing a card to the member, you showcase the efficiency of your organization. The member has immediate proof of registration
It is also a tool that makes life easier for library members. If you have an online reservation service set up, the library card indicates their membership number which gives them access to this function.

Finally, the library card can also become a means of communication for your organization. You can easily personalize it to match your visual identity by importing your logo or images. You don’t need to be a graphic designer! Badgy offers you free library card templates, downloadable from the online template library.
