But, as I reached preteen age teachers and family would say “art can’t be your main job,” and EVERYONE had to say “an artists work isn’t worth anything until they die”. But deep down I knew better.

How it Works
Find and Reserve
Locate an artwork listed in the library catalog.
To reserve it, call the branch library listed with the artwork.
Borrow
Checkout Period: 3 months.
Renewals: 1 allowed.
Pick up artwork in-person at the owning branch library (Madison or Southeast); it cannot be delivered to other branches.
Checkout Limit: You may borrow one artwork per library card at a time.
When you check out an artwork, the library will provide you with a case to protect it during transport.
Each artwork includes a hook or wire on the back, for hanging. A nail should be enough, if you wish to hang it. Alternately, securely lean the artwork on any shelf, table, or mantel.
Return
Return artwork to the library circulation desk of the same location you borrowed it from. So, if you borrowed from Southeast, please return to Southeast. Artwork must be returned during library open hours.
Artwork should never be inserted into or left by a book drop.
