The Round Lake Library has a great
collection of art books that feature the
works of many famous visual artists
throughout history. Yet there is a hid-
den gallery, with thousands of beauti-
fully created works, in an unexpected
place: the Children’s Room.
This month,
the Round Lake
Library is highlighting the work of twenty illustrators in
special displays at each location. Some of these illustra-
tors, like Maurice Sendak and Graeme Base, are famous.
Others, like Bruce Degen and Eric Carle, are better
known by their characters
(Miss Frizzle and the
Hungry Caterpillar). And
others still go largely
unknown—yet the work
of illustrators like Diane
DeGroat, Jane Dyer, and Eric Velasquez, make some
of our (and our children’s) favorite books stand out,
thanks to the beautiful, funny, and often quite
detailed illustrations.
We’ve chosen twenty of our favorite illustrators—
stop by either library and take a look! We hope you
enjoy looking at some of their art and take some time
to browse the Children’s Room for more hidden gems.

read for 10 minutes and are scheduled at their convenience. It's great fun and sends a great
