This fun activity will be available in the children’s room until July 31. \nThe exhibit will be open during business hours. \nOpening reception will take place on July 2 at 5:30.

SUMMARY:2026 LOVE Where You Read - Freedom to Read Poster Contest
DESCRIPTION:Now accepting submissions through September 25th! \nEXHIBITION \nThe LOVE Where You Read Art Contest challenges students and local artists (ages 15 and up) to design an original poster that explores the theme “America 250: Freedom to Read.” Libraries have long served as places where people can discover new ideas\, learn from different perspectives\, and access information freely. This year’s contest asks artists to reflect on the role of reading\, learning\, and libraries in a free society. \nYour artwork might explore questions such as: \n\nWhat does the freedom to read mean to you?\nHow do libraries help strengthen our communities and democracy?\nHow has access to books\, information\, and ideas shaped America over the past 250 years?\nWhat role will reading and lifelong learning play in America’s future?\n\nGOAL \nLOVE WHERE YOU READ is an opportunity for artists of all skill levels to showcase their talent while giving back to the library. Some of the images chosen may be featured on notecards\, calendars or merchandise that will benefit the programs and activities at the library.
