August is Artist Appreciation Month and the Caroline Kennedy Library would like to give artists the opportunity to showcase their art. Any style is welcome and you can choose any medium you would like to use. You can use the canvas provided (limited quantity at the circulation desk) or another type of board or paper but please nothing larger than 5" x 7." You can use the paint provided or you can use any other art supplies such as pencil, charcoal, pastels, ink or markers.
Submit any artwork that you would like to display no later than Saturday, October 5. Artwork will be on exhibit in our display cases in the front of the library during October and November. If you would like your name displayed with your artwork, please write it on the card provided (ask at the Circulation Desk). If you would like your artwork returned to you, please put your phone number on the back of the card.
If you're a teen (10-18) who spends their time at the library then this is for you. These meetings are all about you and for you. We want the library to be a better place and we need your help to do it. If you're looking for volunteer opportunities, to have a say in what programs we offer, and even an input on the teen area then this is the meeting to come to. We are looking for dedicated teens that plan on coming to monthly meetings and being actively involved in their library. If that sounds like something you'll be interested in then come join TAG!
