Congratulations to our 2012 Bookmark Contest Winners! Each year the Friends of the Lafayette Library hosts a bookmark contest for the 4 Lafayette Elementary Schools, Stanley Middle School and St. Perpetua School. The contest is open to all students in grades 1st through 8th. Each winner received a gift certificate to a local bookstore. See the list here.
There is a category called the Hall of Fame and this category recognizes students that potentially have a winning bookmark but have already won in the past. These students received a gift certificate to the Friends Book Shop located beneath the library next to the Historical Society.
Each year Fast Frame reaches out to the community and frames each winning bookmark. He also frames all winning bookmarks for our display in the library. Thank you Anthony Ruiz for generously donating your framing and time to our contest. Thank you to every student who participated this year! We look forward to next year’s contest!
Contributed by the Lawrence Hall of Science. Some are used, some 'like new', and all are 50c. Also, a majority of Hardback fiction books will be $1 at half price. Both sales have started and will go 'til further notice'.
