National Library Week

The week of April 12-18 is declared as National Library Week. By coincidence, a Boys Scout student has created a Poster Contest as his Community project. The topic for the poster is Why I love the library. You have to submit your poster by April 17th and voting will take place during the Vacation week (April 21st-24th). Winners will be announced on April 24th at 4 PM. So, be creative and design fun posters!
