Springfield Public Library is thrilled to recognize fifteen young artists chosen as the winners of the annual Springfield Public Library Bookmark Contest. This year artists drew inspiration from the 2022 Summer Reading Theme “Read Beyond the Beaten Path” for their designs. Artwork could also fit general books, reading, and library themes. Every entry can be viewed in the City Hall Art Gallery, managed by the Springfield Arts Commission, until February 28.
