Along with falling leaves and the much-awaited return of pumpkin spice, the month of September also brought us an exciting first in library programming. The Fox River Valley Public Library’s Mini Masterpiece Contest and Art Show saw the artistry of the surrounding community on display in the form of dozens upon dozens of palm-sized artworks. But what made this experience truly special was the sheer amount of creativity and excitement from the participants of all ages that took part in the program.
