Library’s chair-decorating
contest now under way

Middletown Public Library is cur­rently sponsoring a chair-decorating con­test for area teenagers, with the objective to design and decorate a chair in the style of a well-known artist or one of the artist’s famous works.

Deadline is Feb. 1, and applicants must be between age 13-19. Cash prizes will be awarded for "best overall representation of artist," "most creative use of materi­als," "best individual entry," and other categories. All entries will be displayed in the library, and the "top chairs" will be placed in the new main library.

Chairs may be picked up at the main library at 471 Route 35 north, Red Bank. For more information, call the library at (732) 671-3700.
