We invite you to submit your favorites, either electronically or physically, to our End of Summer Art Show, to be held at the library the week of August 31. Details to follow.

You may need: scissors, adhesive of some kind (tape, glue, or both), camera if you have one, and paper towel tubes.
You may use these materials however you like.
