Picture Your Library Is Back!

And it's the READ Poster Edition

Last year we asked you for Library photos to fill our brand new Flickr page and you responded with over 80 fantastically creative photographs of your favorite people, places and things in the Library. Your photos have graced presentations, promotional material and even the Library's homepage!

This year we have a new challenge for you

Create your own READ mini poster and enter into a drawing to sit for a photograph that will be turned into a full-sized READ poster. This full-sized poster will join the Library's collection of faculty, staff and student READ posters currently on display in the Library. The winner's poster will also be featured on our homepage.

To create your READ mini poster, just use the READ Mini Posters generator (at http://tinyurl.com/readposters) to upload a photograph of yourself and your favorite book. Then choose from one of four poster styles and click CREATE. Once you've saved your mini poster, send it to us using the Picture Your Library submission form.

(NOTE: Click here for READ mini poster tips that will help you create a quality entry.)

We'll add your mini posters to the Library's Flickr page where registered Flickr users can add comments and tags to any photos.
