The Calhoun County Library held a contest for artwork to be featured as the design of three new library cards and the winners have been chosen.
Art is a way of expressing yourself, and here at the Calhoun
County Library, we wanted to give some new expression to our library cards. To
accomplish this task, we reached out to local students and relied on their
creativity. This contest was for students ages 5 - 16 who reside in Calhoun
County and was open to all students in the county including homeschooled
children. Three designs that met certain criteria were chosen by a panel of
judges. Congratulations to:
Kimberly Alvarez, CCHS
Kaylen Bagwell, CCHS
Ruby Tang, Home Schooled
The three categories for junior library cards are Early
Learner (a new category for ages
0 - 5), Juvenile
(ages 5 - 16), and Juvenile Restricted (restricted to borrowing from the
juvenile section of the library only).
Winning artists received a $25 gift card and their art
teachers received a gift card for future art supplies for their classrooms.
These new designs are now circulating throughout the county, so be on the
lookout for some colorful library cards.
All of us here at the Calhoun County
Library would like to thank everyone for their participation in this
competition and offer our congratulations to all three of our winners and their
teachers. We can finally get these creative cards in patrons’ hands and make
our community a little more colorful! So, come to the library and pick out one
of these designs! Even if you already have a library card, you can exchange it
for a new one!
