New library customers can sign up for the limited-edition card at no charge, while existing customers can replace their current card with the Hello Kitty design for a $1 fee. Cards will be distributed on a first-come, first- served basis.

“Sanrio’s Hello Kitty and Friends have brought joy to fans around the world by celebrating friendship, kindness, and belonging,” LA County Library Director Skye Patrick said. “We are honored that LA County Library is Sanrio’s first library partner, bringing together two organizations that uplift curiosity, creativity, and community.”
