The Lawrence branch of the Mercer County Library System is seeking entries for its third annual altered books exhibition, ReVisions.

Entrants can use any creative technique on an old book to give it a new life as art. The exhibit is open to students in grades seven to 12 and adults residing in Mercer County.

The library is set to have a limited supply of books available for altering beginning Sept. 30 in the reference department.

The library recommends using books found at a yard sale or flea market. Library books are not to be used for this contest.

All accepted entries are set to be exhibited publicly in the library’s reference area during the month of December.

Entries must be delivered to the Lawrence Headquarters Branch Library, 2751 Brunswick Pike, Lawrenceville. The deadline for submitting entries is scheduled for Nov. 29.

Contest guidelines and entry forms are available at the Lawrence Headquarters Branch Library Reference Desk or by emailing lawprogs@mcl.org .
