Hello Kitty brings joy and brings people together. At our Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors meeting today, I was proud to spotlight the innovative and creative collaboration between Sanrio and LA County Library, which brought 102,000 readers to our libraries the weekend the Hello Kitty library card launched and fostered a 43% increase in circulation. The partnership led to a global reach of 700 million people, reminding us that libraries unlock unlimited possibilities for readers of all ages. If you haven't gotten your Hello Kitty library card yet, the next drop is Nov. 10!
