Library literary magazine accepting variety of submissions by Nov. 30

The Dover Public Library’s literary magazine, Tapestries of Tuscarawas County, has launched its search for submissions for its sixth volume. The literary magazine encompasses life in Tuscarawas County and hopes to preserve the culture of the county as a part of the library’s historical initiative.

The magazine is open to submissions of stories, poetry, art and photography from anyone with connections to Tuscarawas County. Citizens are asked to send in their memories of life in Tuscarawas County or their art and photography that have a connection to the community. The library will offer a cash prize in each of the following categories: photography/art, poetry and written story.

As a part of the Dover Public Library’s oral and living history project, Tapestries intends to weave together the stories of Tuscarawas County into one tapestry to convey the beauty of the county.

A release ceremony will be held at the library to celebrate the magazine, and contributors will be given a free copy of the book, as well as an opportunity to read excerpts from their work. Copies will be available to the public at the Dover Public Library and other local libraries and historical societies.

The Dover Public Library is located at 525 N. Walnut St. The deadline to submit a piece for the new edition of Tapestries of Tuscarawas County is Nov. 30. To get the registration form and submission guidelines, stop in the library, visit www.doverlibrary.org under About, email local history librarian Kim Jurkovic at kjurkovic@doverlibrary.org or call the library at 330-343-6123.
