Capture the Color: July Photo Contest

As summer winds down and library staff shift their focus to fall planning, we want to take a moment to thank everyone who participated in our two photo contests this summer!

The submissions tell a vibrant story of fun, learning, and connection across Northeast Kansas. From reptiles and colorful games to crafting, performances, and moments of family bonding, it’s clear that libraries are about so much more than just books.

Click through the slideshow to see all the wonderful entries. We’re grateful to our member libraries for capturing and sharing these snapshots of what makes libraries—especially in the summer—so special.
