National Library Week this year was held April 10-14. In celebration, Kearny Public Library held a Bookmark Contest featuring the theme ‘Libraries Transform’.
Once all the entries had been received, a panel of judges chose the five best bookmarks from each grade level. The finalists were then posted in the library and patrons were asked to cast ballots for their favorite one from each grade. Votes were added up, but, in some cases there were ties for third place, so both parties were winners.
