Children's Book Mark Contest Winners
Tonight we are honoring the eight young artists chosen as the winners of the Springfield
Public Library's 2007 Children's Book Week Bookmark Contest. .
Children's Book Week has been celebrated nationally during the week before
Thanksgiving since 1919 in schools, libraries, and bookstores - where ever there are
children and books.
For 27 years now, the Springfield Public Library has celebrated Children's Book Week'
with a book mark contest for grades kindergarten through middle school. This year, 600
children designed bookmarks and entered the contest. All of their designs, about books,
reading, libraries or the year's theme, which is "Rise Up Reading!", are now displayed in
the children's department.
After choosing the winners, the library has their book marks professionally printed and
we then give them out to library users and children on classroom tours of the library.
Mayor Leiken, please join me in congratulating this year's BookMark Contest winners.
