Each year, Arlington County holds a student art contest to choose the next Arlington County Vehicle Decal. As part of this contest, students are challenged to create artwork that features the location that best represents the “Spirit of Arlington” to them. This year nine students chose to honor the Library by selecting one of our branches to represent this spirit.

“Reflections from the Front Window” features the artwork of nine Arlington  students: Cesar C. R., Herlinda H., Grace H., Margaret L., Jack P., Elizabeth P., Claire R., Halina S. and Teodosia Z.

Art is an expression of an artist’s individual style, interests and values. We are gratified that these students selected their local library, elated by the value they see in it, and excited and honored to exhibit their artwork.
