I am so excited to talk Genreflections, the 4th annual library sponsored art contest. Each year the library highlights one of the areas of the collection (content or genre) and encourages students to create art based on the topic. Our last winner, Savindi, whose art is shown at the left, won for Science Fiction and got to choose the next topic. She chose Social Science. This category is particularly exciting because there are so many options when you consider history as artistic inspiration. I am so excited to see what students create! Put your curiosity and creativity to work. Check out the details below:
