Submissions for the Adventure Begins at Your Library Art Contest will begin soon! The children’s art contest is always one of our most popular activities in the summer and we decided to build upon that enthusiasm by having programs that will inspire art.

New Grand Prize Winner will be selected from the age group winners. The Grand Prize winner will receive their age group prize and have their artwork transcribed on our 2025 Brazos Valley Children’s Literary Festival: Open a Book, Open a World t-shirt! The winner will also get a t-shirt. Save the date Saturday, April 5, 2025! Grand prize will be determined by library staff voting among the age contestant winners.
