Lots of teens love to create art inspired by their favorite books, movies and characters - so let's give them a place to share their work!</span></div><div><span></span> </div><div><span>YA Lit + Teen Created Art = It Came from a Book</span></div><div><span></span> </div><div><span>Now through the end of September teens can submit their book inspired artwork of any kind to our IT CAME FROM A BOOK art contest. All submitted artwork will be displayed online at the Library as Incubator Project and during TRW we will have a time of online voting. One lucky teen will receive a $50.00 Amazon gift card, t-shirts, and 6 signed books for their personal collection, including Hourglass, Ashes, Divergent, Across the
Universe, and more.</span></div><div><span></span> </div><div><span>We are asking that teens submit digital photographs of their art, which means they get to keep the original piece. This means that you - and your library - could have a library teen art show during Teen Read Week.
