DBRL Patron Wins Design-A-Monster Contest

Photo of MirabelThis fall R.L. Stine, famed author of the beloved Goosebumps book series, held a contest with the Scholastic Reading Club called the Design-A-Monster Contest. To enter the contest, U.S. students in grades 2-6 were encouraged to draw an original monster, come up with a name for the creature and write up a short description of what makes it so spooky. The entries were judged on originality, creativity and execution. With almost 15,000 entries from across the country, the judges had the extremely difficult and terrifying task of selecting only eleven creepy creations to be recognized.

The Daniel Boone Regional Library is proud to announce that one of our very own patrons, Ms. Mirabel, was selected as one of the ten extremely talented (and scary) runner up winners. In addition to drawing creepy monsters, Mirabel enjoys playing the violin, doing Tae Kwon Do, making animations and collecting marbles.

Congratulations Mirabel! Your monster creation is most terrifying!

Drawing of Infectus

In a grocery store in California, an old yogurt container rotted for weeks. After six weeks a mother reached for it. Very quickly the bacteria in the yogurt infected her and her baby. At night they would come out and infect food.
