Join us for the library’s Tiny Art Show in celebration of the 10-year anniversary of One Book, One Community. The featured book, Hello Beautiful by Ann Napolitano, is set in Chicago and highlights the Pilsen Murals, which will serve as inspiration for your artistic creations. Pick up a Tiny Art Show Kit, create your own self-portrait, and return it to the library to be showcased throughout the OBOC months. Kits are available while supplies last. 
 
Pick up supplies at the OBOC Kickoff on Sunday, December 7 or in the Launch Pad through Tuesday, December 23. Then, create your own mini portrait. Drop off your finished canvas in the Launch Pad between Sunday, December 7 and Sunday, January 18. Your canvas will be part of our Tiny Art Show, on display at the library lobby late January through Sunday, March 1. Kits available while supplies last.
