====== Library Cards ======

===== Library Card Design =====

Any new card designs for PINES must be approved by the PINES Director, the PINES Communications Department, and the State Librarian [2016.12].

===== Library Card Orders =====

Library cards are purchased directly by each library system. Libraries may use any vendor as long as the card design, barcode format, and numbering sequence are consistent with PINES standards.

To order PINES cards and barcodes under an agreed-upon group discount from PermaCard (a division of CBS Marketing Solutions). Please contact:

<note important>All barcodes and library cards should use Codabar format.</note>

Libraries are not obligated to order from CBS (PermaCard), but if your library chooses to use a different company, you will be responsible for tracking the barcode and card number sequences for your system. (If you use PermaCard, they already track sequences for all PINES library systems.)
