children's art exhibit

The Booker Health Sciences Library at the Jersey Shore University Medical Center is sponsoring an art exhibit in conjunction with The September Project, called: Celebrating America through the Eyes of a Child.

The library will be collecting artwork and poetry from employee's children in grades 1 - 8 to display in the library and in the hallways of the Medical Center beginning the weekend of September 11. The artwork can be a drawing, painting, collage, poem or any other style that demonstrates how the child feels about our country and the freedoms, rights and privileges they enjoy. The library staff is supplying the paper. All participants will receive a flag pin and be entered into prize drawings.

Children can teach us quite a bit about the world around us. I'm so pleased this medical library is taking advantage of their valuable perspectives.
