There's just a little over one week left to get your submissions in for this year's Art Purchase Prize contest! We're accepting entries through Sunday, October 4, and the first round of judging is on Tuesday, October 6.
Find the full criteria on our website; if you have any questions please contact Candice Smith at csmith@icpl.org or 319-887-6031.
Winning works of art are added to the Library's Art To Go collection, located on the first floor, on the wall separating the adult fiction collection and the Children's Room. Cardholders can check out two works at a time, for two months. The collection is made up of original art from the contest, along with reproductions of well-known works of art. So, if you've still got some bare apartment walls to decorate, or want to try out a new kind of art in your home, stop by the Library!

About the Author
I work at the Info Desk on the second floor, and I select books for the adult nonfiction collection. I have a degree in anthropology, which really helps in selecting...well...almost anything. I also manage the Art To Go collection of framed prints and original art, and the nonfiction DVDs.

I love this book, I wish it had more holidays in it! It tells the history behind several of the most popular days of celebration--where and when they started, how they spread, how they've changed. -Candice
