"Florida Libraries as …" is the Florida Department of State's year-long campaign to ensure Florida libraries are recognized as fulfilling vital roles in their communities.
The Crestview Public Library was featured on the October Florida Libraries as Galleries web page. See the whole story at http://dos.myflorida.com/library-archives/services-for-libraries/florida-libraries-as/gallery/crestview/.
Our September/October art gallery wall has featured local artist Peggy Hollingshead's abstract acrylics while the lobby display cases are filled with items and information celebrating Noirmoutier, France, our sister city.
If you have not been into the library to see either of these exhibits, you have one week left!
Our November/December featured artists will be Sarah Hawkins on the gallery wall with her abstract and realism assorted media while the Playground Gem & Mineral Society will fill lobby display cases with rocks and minerals from raw specimens to finished wire jewelry.
The library seeks artists for its 2016 lineup for the gallery wall and lobby display cases.
Exhibits run for 60 days, with preference given to North Okaloosa County artists.
Please call me at 682-4432 if you would like your work to be considered.
Sandra Dreaden is the Crestview Public Library's reference librarian.
