Congratulations to our 2009 district-wide winners, and to the local library winners as well. Nearly 4,000 talented junior artists submitted entries -- if you were one of them, we'd like to say thanks and “Good job!” As usual, it was tough to pick just a few winners from the many wonderful bookmark designs we received.

The district-wide winning bookmarks are displayed here. Put your cursor over each bookmark to reveal the grade level, artist, school and FVRL library. We'll print 10,000 full-color copies of the winning designs for distribution throughout the year.

Check your local library events listing for individual Bookmark Contest celebrations in April.
