Don't Miss Out: ISPTSA Spring Fundraiser and Social Event!
The library is excited to sponsor an auction item at our ISPTSA spring fundraiser: A timeless art piece of your beloved pet, commissioned by our talented 9th grader artist Kari Koleva.
Don't miss this chance to bid on one-of-a-kind artwork while supporting our PTSA and our library!
Meet our artist Kari Koleva
My name is Kari Koleva, and I am a sophomore at International. I’ve combined my love for animals and art to create sentimental pet portraits. Each custom piece is carefully painted to showcase the unique personality and spirit of your pet, turning your cherished companion into a timeless work of art. Whether as a gift or a personal keepsake, my portraits are a heartfelt way to celebrate the special bond between you and your pet.
The auction item is an 8”x10” painting with a frame. The winner will receive a personalized portrait of their pet or any animal of your choice. You will need to send me a clear photo with good lighting of the animal. The painting will be completed in 2-4 weeks, and you will receive progress photos during the creation of your painting.

Did you know that March marks National Reading Month? National Reading Month is designed to help us revive our reading habits and celebrate the importance of literature. Why is it celebrated in March? It’s chosen in honor of the famous author and illustrator of children’s books, Dr. Seuss, whose birthday falls during this month. This year, Dr. Seuss turns 120 years old!
