Congratulations to the winners of the Litchfield Library Foundation’s second annual bookmark contest!

There were 195 entries from local 5th through 12th graders. The foundation board voted to narrow to the semifinalists and finalists, then the public voted on the 10 finalists to choose the 3 winners. The top 3 win cash prizes, and the 1st place design will go on this year’s library bookmark, which will be handed out at the Watercade parade and the library.

The winners’, finalists’, and semifinalists’ bookmarks are on display in the cabinet next to the front desk of the library. Stop by to take a look!

Pioneerland libraries will be closed on Friday, July 4, for Independence Day. The libraries will be open regular hours on Saturday.

These beautiful candles were created by participants in the May Adult Arts & Crafts program.
