March Programs
Summer Reading Bookmark Contest
Thursday, March 1
Regional
Help us get ready for Summer Reading for kids and teens by designing an original bookmark based on either the teen theme, “Own the Night,” or the kids' theme, “Dream Big, Read!” The top two winners in each age bracket (13-18 or under 13) from each library will get their bookmarks printed and distributed late spring and summer. Your design must be two-dimensional, but you may use any kind of tools or media to make it including photography, a computer or good old-fashioned markers or paints. Get an entry form online at www.dbrl.org, at your library or on the bookmobile. Entry deadline is Saturday, March 31. Ages 18 and younger.
