— from Phil Heikkinen for the Orcas Public Library —
The Library Fair, one of the many activities of the Orcas Island Public Library that make it one of the most-visited libraries in the nation
Get Writing, Get Painting, Get Performing, and Get Published at the Orcas Island Library! In celebration of the upcoming expansion of the Orcas Island Library, we want your “Library Stories” in any medium:
- Written — essay, poem, one-act play (maximum 500 words)
- Illustrated— drawing, painting, photograph, print, sculpture (maximum 22″ x 28”)
- Performed —video-recorded song, skit, dance, musical composition (maximum three-minutes; library may be used as “set” for performance; call Phil Heikkinen, Library Director, 376-4985, to make arrangements.)
Get in touch with your “inner library” and tell/show/perform your library story! Recall your first memories of a library, share what libraries have meant in your life, or tell the story of a particularly wonderful moment at a library, any library!
“Finalist” entries will be displayed at the library for “Peoples’ Choice” voting. Winning entries will be framed and displayed prominently in Library or “looped” for video showing.
Two winners in each category — written, visual, performance — in three age groups: kids, teens, and adults. Prizes include publication at library, reception for winners at library, and choice of Friends’ bag, hat, or cup.
Deadline is May 15. Written entries may be submitted in hard copy or electronic (Word *.doc) form; visual entries in original form; performance entries as thumb drive, CD or DVD, or email attachment. Submit at library or send to pheikkinen@orcaslibrary.org. All entries become shared property of creator and library and may be used for library promotion.
