Charlie Says: "Be on a READ Poster: Enter My Contest!"

The library's READ poster contest is open to students, faculty, and staff, with one winner from each category.

Submit a short piece (250 words or fewer, poetry or prose) about a real-life experience at Tutt Library -- finding a book, having a conversation, discovering an idea, whatever mattered to you. You can email your entry to jrandall [at] coloradocollege.edu or drop a paper copy in the box at the reference desk.

Each winner will be featured on a READ poster in the fall of 2005. Deadline is March 1, 2005. The library will publish the winning entries and supply each winner with a copy of his or her poster.

The Poetry and Art of Libraries

"Libraries" is the theme of the current issue of Snakeskin, an online poetry magazine. This special issue has three Colorado College connections.

The webzine features digital images of Giselle Restrepo's (CC class of 2002) library artworks (including "Containment," a corset made of library cards, seen here). It also contains a prose-poem by current CC student, Katie Dawson. Lastly, the entire issue is guest-edited by Special Collections Librarians and Archivist, Jessy Randall.
