The Nature Conservancy: A global photo contest. In celebration of the earth, their photo theme is “What’s Your Nature?” Deadline is May 31.
And since it’s also Finals Week, you might need a break to show off your artistic talent. Take a moment to snap a photo of how you study, and tag our library’s Instagram account! (@csnlibrary).
