The results for the 2010 Jean Outland Chrysler Library Annual Book Cart Decorating Contest are in! This year we had three wonderful and unique entries - and when the votes were counted, it was a close race. Entering the contest this year were:
Book Cart 1"Das Popenhaus, or, The Dollhouse" by Library Interns Chelsea and Casey was full of interesting details and some familiar faces:
Book Cart 2, "Draw with Harold!" by Laura was inspired by the popular children's classic Harold and the Purple Crayon. Visitors were encouraged to pick up a purple crayon (or, rather pencil) and add a drawing to the cart:
Book Cart 3, "Bonjour Coco!" by Sara was inspired by the designs of Coco Chanel and brings a little of the "City o
Lights" into the reading room with its recreation of the Eiffel Tower:
Visitors to last week's Library Open house were invited to vote for their favorite design. The winner with 40 votes was "Draw with Harold", coming in second was the intern's detailed "Popenhaus" with 38 votes and finally, in close third was "Bonjour Coco!" with 34 votes.
Our thanks to everyone who particpated and voted this year. If you didn't get a chance to see the carts, they'll be on view through Friday, July 30, 2010 in the Reading room.
Love the carts! (just now seeing them) My vote goes to Chanel... but that may be due to bias. Vive le Chanel!! ....Jessica D.
