2022 Certificates Available: Six New Styles!
We're pleased to show off our 2022 completion certificates, which can be automatically generated for your patrons! We have six styles to choose from, and you can choose multiple styles so that you can award different types of certificates to different programs. This year we also have a black-and-white-only template for libraries that aren't using color printers! Our 2022 hosting partner libraries can also use their own certificate templates.
