2008-2009 Bookmark
Contest Winners
Thank you to the 87 children who entered our 10th 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 2008-2009 bookmarks will also be displayed year-round in Youth
Services.
