This year marks the 5th annual Kids Bookmark Contest at Emma Clark Library. This contest is for kids in the Three Village Central School District, Kindergarten through 6th grade. Winners receive the honor of having their bookmarks professionally printed and distributed at the Library throughout the entire year. Last year’s bookmark champions were Madison (Nassakeag Elementary), Evelyn (Minnesauke Elementary), and Raymond (Minnesauke Elementary).

To pick up an Official Entry Form and Bookmark Template, kids may stop by the Children’s Reference Desk or download the form at emmaclark.org/bookmarkcontest/. The entry deadline is March 31, 2020. Winners will be chosen in three categories (K – 2, 3rd & 4th, and 5th & 6th grades) and announced on Friday, May 1, 2020, right in time for Children’s Book Week which begins the following Monday. All contestants’ entries are displayed in the Children’s Department for the entire community to enjoy!

The children of Three Village have been inspiring others to read with their original bookmark entries for the past four years. Each year there have been about 60 bookmark entries, for a total of 237 unique pieces. The Librarians cannot wait to see the latest creations!
