Want to make a little art? Well, good, because the Tiny Art Show is coming back to the library this year at our Family Art Night in October. Share your artistic talents by participating in the Lincoln Public Library's Tiny Art Show!

Starting on Tuesday, September 1, you can pick up one of our Tiny Art Kits to create your entry (while supplies last). Kits include: a 4”x4” canvas, paints, and a brush. Let your inner Picasso or Van Gogh free and create your tiny masterpiece. Once you’ve finished, return it to the library by Monday, October 1 (or sooner!) to be part of the exhibit, which will be held at a Family Art Night at the Library in October.

Thanks to the Friends of the Lincoln Public Library for supporting the Tiny Art Show and Family Art Night, and so many other library programs.

Rest in peace to American country singer, actor, author, philanthropist, and literacy advocate, Dolly Parton.

Dolly has always understood the importance of fostering a love of reading in children, and wanted to honor her father who grew up unable to read or write. So, in 1995 she launched the Imagination Library under her nonprofit, The Dollywood Foundation, and it remains the world’s leading early childhood book-gifting program.

The program has gifted more than 300 million free books to children across North America and parts of Europe, strengthening children’s early literacy skills and family reading habits on a global scale.

"My dream has always been to help children love books and love learning, no matter where they live." — Dolly Parton

Dolly's legacy lives on in all those who continue to carry out the mission of nourishing children's love of reading.

Hey Book Lovers, did you know that August is both Romance Awareness Month AND Read A Romance Month? It's a great time of the year for people to celebrate their love of love (in their books, at least). It also felt like a good theme for one of our Wednesday posts, in which we like to share just one part of our collection with you.

So, what's your favorite love story?

We had a great meeting with our Teen Advisory Board yesterday to go over the entries from the Summer Youth Writing Contest. That is a program that our TAB came up with, soliciting original short stories and poems from young writers aged 17 years old and younger. After the entries come in, the teens in TAB read, review, and rate each entry. They pick out winners, and the winners and runner-ups are published in an anthology that we publish in the Autumn.

We debut that year’s anthology at our Youth Literary Festival, in which those published young authors can read their works aloud and people can buy copies of that book (and get those books signed by our young published authors).

This year's Youth Literary Festival will be in November, but those who submitted to the contest will learn the outcome in September. Then, there will be lots of behind the scenes work of putting that book together before then. TAB also had a lot more to discuss with other programs they're working on, like their ongoing Cover to Cover Book Club (on the last Monday afternoon of each month) and the return of their Zine, and even more cool things that they’ll be bringing to the library.
..And their Back to School Pencil Pouch Party, which is TOMORROW - Wednesday, August 12 - at 11 AM.

We're proud of all the things that are Teen Advisory Board are accomplishing at the library, and want to thank the Friends of the Lincoln Public Library for financially supporting our many TAB programs. Stay tuned for more cool teen-related stuff coming from the library, and don’t forget that you can still turn in applications for joining the next year’s TAB through the end of October!
