Booksale art contest submissions on display!
It wasn’t easy to pick the winning image in the library’s first annual Homecoming Booksale Art Contest–we received nearly 40 pieces of art from several different students. Since so many of them were so good, we’ve decided to put some of the most outstanding pieces on display in the library.
The display is on the main floor of the library, behind the the desk of Jack Weinbender, our Library Assistant. We’ve displayed at least one piece from everyone who submitted.
So stop by, take a look, and gaze in wonder at the artistic accomplishments of your fellow Milliganites. We can’t wait to host this contest again next year–thanks again to everyone who entered!

Michael’s photograph of aspen trees will soon be sprouting up all over campus and the surrounding community as the poster and postcard image of this year’s Library Homecoming Booksale. In addition to the free display of his art, Michael will receive 2.5% of the total booksale proceeds. Congratulations, Michael!
Thanks to all students who entered the contest—we received nearly 40 pieces of art, and we look forward to hosting the contest next year! See you at the booksale Homecoming weekend, October 23-24!
