Written by

The Jackson County Public Library is sponsoring a statue-naming contest for a marble sculpture recently donated to its youth service department by artist Jim Knapp of Balsam.

Children are encouraged to examine and touch the artwork, which depicts a child reading, and think up an appropriate name. It could be a descriptive name or a name from a favorite book. The contest will run from Feb. 15 until March 8 and is open to children only.

A panel of three library staff members will consider all entries. The winning name will be announced on March 15, and a winner and a runner-up will receive a free book about sculpture or art. Entry forms are available at the Library.

We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home.
