Sarasota News Leader October 4, 2013 The contest, which was available online and at every county library, asked young artists to design a card based on the theme, What my library means to me. The contest drew 183 entries, which were reviewed by a panel of judges, including representatives from the Sarasota County Commission, Ringling College of Art and Design, Sarasota County Library System and Sarasota County Schools. The panel narrowed the field to 10, and from there, community members had a month to cast their votes on the designs, the release continues. Page 75 More than 1,600 votes were tallied in the contest. "Martin and Kerry did an amazing job designing our new library cards," said Ann Ivey, the Fruitville Library manager who headed the countywide contest, in the release. "They and their families should be very proud. Hopefully, their artwork will help inspire community members to think about the 'endless possibilities' of libraries." The newly designed library cards are available at county libraries for a patron signing up for the first time for a library card or cardholders needing replacements, the release adds. % "When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us." — Helen Keller SARASOTA'S HAIR COLOR SPECIALIST John-Norman Tuck (941) 928-1203 John-Norman Tuck is Sarasota and Bradenton's premier hairstylist and hair color artist.
