Shredded Book Contest
Each month of summer reading we will have a jar filled with
a shredded book in the Young Adult room. If you can guess
the title of the book you can pick a prize. Please note:
Only an already-damaged book was used for this activity. The
library does not condone or encourage the shredding of
quality books.
Comic Book Cover Contest
What’s your superhero or villain name? Stop by the Young
Adult room to find out and design a comic book cover based
on your character’s name. There is a limit of one cover
entry per person. Only original artwork will be accepted.
Your cover may be displayed in the Young Adult Room.
Entries due no later than Sunday, August 9.
