Show how much you love your library and books!

Have your picture put on a READ poster just like the ones of celebrities displayed in the library. The entire family can have individual posters (11” x 17” or 8 ½” x 11”) or bookmarks (2 ½” x 6 ½”) or group posters. Choose your background from Bookstack, Rocket, Medieval, Clouds, or Leaf; have your picture taken with your favorite book(s) (one pose and one background only); and pick up the finished product in three weeks. Donations to The Friends of Central and Bull Run Libraries will be greatly appreciated. If you give permission, a copy of your poster will be displayed in the library during National Library Week (April 11 - 17) so that all your friends and family can see how much you value your library and books!
