VGCC Library recognizes student artist
Vance-Granville Community College recently recognized a student for his artwork celebrating the college’s library.
The VGCC Library Services Subcommittee, which includes faculty and staff members from across the college, honored Wiley Davis of Henderson, whose original artwork was selected as the winner of the subcommittee’s 2014 National Library Week poster contest. The subcommittee sponsored the contest to celebrate the importance of libraries and to raise awareness among students of the services and resources available to them, according to English instructor Bridget Bell, who chaired the subcommittee during the 2013-2014 academic year.
Since January, Davis has been a student in the Simulation & Game Development program , so art is not only his hobby but also part of his chosen career field. His poster design features a superhero bearing the VGCC Vanguards mascot logo flying upward through the library doors. In the sky above the superhero is the message, “Knowledge is Power.” Davis credited his VGCC art instructor, Isaac Talley, with informing him about the poster contest and inspiring him to enter.
Davis was awarded a $40 gift certificate to the VGCC bookstore . His artwork will be displayed in the library on Main Campus and will help celebrate September as “National Library Card Sign-up Month.”
The main library is located in Building 2 on the college’s Main Campus in Vance County, but library services are also available at the satellite campuses and online. Libraries are also open to the public, supporting life-long learning and intellectual enrichment for the community.
