2007-2008 Bookmark
Contest Winners
Thank you to the 89 children who entered our 9th annual Bookmark Contest!
We had a talented group of young artists, and it was fun to see such
beautiful artwork. George Dirolf, an art teacher at Bethlehem High
School, selected our winners from two age groups, 6-9 years and 10-14
years.
Winning bookmarks will be shown in our newsletters throughout the
year and on the library's website. Each month, we will have free copies
of the bookmarks available to patrons at the Youth Services Desk.
The 2007-2008 bookmarks will also be displayed year-round in Youth
Services.
The winners of the 2007-2008 Contest were presented with commemorative
editions of their bookmarks, certificates, and prizes at our Finale
at the Pruyn House on August 16.
