Freelancer Needed: Menomonie Public Library

Colleen Zertler who is one of the Youth Services Librarians at the Menomonie Public Library is looking for student help!
This spring the library will be undergoing a remodel. Our teen area will be moved to a new location during this time. The entrance to the new area will have dividing wall with a hanging space of 34 X 41 where we would like a sign that says Teens. Would any of your students be interested in submitting a sketch/rough draft (not sure of the right term)for
consideration? This would be a permanent fixture at the library. It could be in any medium and in any style (as long as it is not offensive). Sketches need to be turned in to the library by April 17th to my attention. They should include their name and contact information along with it.
