Harvard Diggins Library’s 4th annual Tiny Art Contest is almost here! Sign up at the library June 8 to 27; you'll get a blank canvas and then use materials from home to create your own tiny masterpiece. (NOTE: No glitter or oil pastels, please.)

Return your artwork to the library between June 22 and July 2. Staring July 6, the public will vote on their favorite canvases in three categories: Kids, Teens and Adults. Once voting closes on July 17, library staff will count the votes and announce the winners. This event is free and open to all ages; no library card is required!

Harvard Diggins Library is located at 900 E. McKinley St., Harvard, IL 60033.
