How Carpets Plus Helped Transform Library Cardboard into Larger-than-Life Art

This summer, our team at Carpets Plus of Wisconsin had the chance to support a unique and colorful display at Hedberg Public Library in Janesville. What started as a simple donation of cardboard carpet tubes turned into an imaginative, larger-than-life art installation for the library’s Summer Library Challenge.

When a librarian reached out asking to purchase tubes for a children’s art project, we didn’t hesitate—we delivered! One of our team members, was heading to a nearby builder’s office and hand-delivered the supplies. Not long after, we received heartwarming photos of towering art supplies—all crafted from our materials.

Why It Matters

Libraries are more than book lenders—they’re welcoming, creative spaces for learning and connection. Programs like the Summer Library Challenge bring kids and families together in inspiring ways.
