Call for Readers
What better way to spend the cold winter months than curled up with a good book? The Mercer County Library System has announced the dates of their 2025-26 Winter Reading Program. The program will run from December 15, 2025, through January 24, 2026.
Community members can participate by completing a Winter Reading BINGO sheet. Complete some of the activities to get five in a row — up, down, across, or diagonal. Then bring the BINGO sheet back to your local branch where kids and teens will automatically receive a prize, and adults will be entered into a raffle for a prize.
“The Winter Reading Program fosters community and curiosity during the middle of a long winter season,” said Mercer County Executive Dan Benson. “We’re proud that Mercer Libraries host great programs like this throughout the year, which support readers and learners of all ages.”
BINGO sheets are available on the library’s web site at www.mcl.org, or at any of the nine library branches: Lawrence Headquarters, Ewing, Hickory Corner, Hollowbrook, Hopewell, Hightstown Memorial, Robbinsville, Twin Rivers, and West Windsor.
For more information about Winter Reading or any of the programs the library offers, visit www.mcl.org.
Call for Art
The Arts Council of Princeton (ACP), in partnership with the Princeton Environmental Film Festival and Princeton Public Library, announces an open call for visual artists.
Artists are invited to submit mural proposals inspired by our connection to and relationship with land, water, and/or the underground spring for which Spring Street is named. The selected design will be painted on several panels spanning 32’×8’ and installed on the wall.
The mural is scheduled to be completed and installed by February 1, 2026. Due to the winter season, a portion of the work may be completed indoors (off-site). Proposals will be accepted through January 9, 2026, and the application is available now at artscouncilofprinceton.org/artists/artist-opps.
The mural will be on view through March 2026. A stipend of $500 will be awarded to the selected artist, and all paint and supplies will be provided by the ACP.
This installation will become the latest in the series of Arts Council’s Spring Street mural and a continuation of the ACP’s growing public art presence in and around Princeton. Current murals include Continuum by Illia Barger at Terra Momo Bread Company, Journey by Marlon 7oveChild Davila at John Street and Leigh Avenue, asphalt murals at the ACP and Lawrenceville Elementary School, and multiple murals at Princeton Shopping Center.
