Young artists in Collierville have a unique opportunity to showcase their creativity during National Library Week, which runs from April 6 to 12, according to an announcement by the Collierville Burch Library. This year's theme, "Drawn to the Library," invites children and teens to explore and express the excitement and wonder found within library spaces through art.

For the younger crowd, a Bookmark Creation Contest is open to students from kindergarten through eighth grade, with a submission deadline on Friday, March 21. Entrants are encouraged to use crayons, colored pencils, or markers to create a design that encapsulates their connection to the library. According to the Collierville Burch Library website, "One winner from each age group will be selected." These winning designs will then be printed and distributed during the celebratory week.

High school students have the chance to participate in an Art Contest by submitting pieces that resonate with the "Drawn to the Library" theme. Contestants must enter by April 4 to have their artwork displayed at the Collierville Burch Library throughout National Library Week. Voting will occur during this time, ensuring that the public can actively engage in selecting the winners.

The first and second-place winners will be recognized on the library's social media channel. All enthusiastic participants can download the printable bookmark template or review the full rules and entry instructions on the Collierville Burch Library website.
