CREATIVE BOOKMARKS COLOUR LOCAL LIBRARIES
The team at the Macquarie Regional Library are excited to announce the 12 winners of the bookmark design competition.
The winners are: Anna Morton, Ella Howard, Tilda Carrington, Sierra Boles, Dusty Schrader, Koopa Byrne, Eli Smyth, Kyra Stanton, Alaura Sutherland, Abigail Doherty, Holly Turner and Cooper Payne.
“The winners are from various library branches across the Macquarie Regional Library network including Wellington, Dubbo, Narromine, Trangie, Coonabarabran, Coolah, Dunedoo and Baradine,” Macquarie Regional Library Manager, Kathryn McAlister said.
“We were blown away with the creativity and variety of the designs submitted as part of the competition; it definitely was a hard task to choose the winners.”
“In total we had 814 entries into the bookmark design competition which was amazing, and our team are looking forward to sharing the winning designs with our members as they come into our branches over the coming months.”
The bookmark design competition was coordinated to celebrate this year’s Children’s Book Week and featured three different categories: 4 – 7 years, 8 – 12 years and 13 – 18 years.
Each of the winners will receive copies of their bookmark to share with family and friends and a book prize.
“The printed bookmarks will be available throughout the Macquarie Regional Library branches so be sure to pick up one on your next visit.”
“Our next competition for children will be announced in the coming weeks, so kids can stay tuned for the details about the Summer Reading Challenge,” Ms McAlister said.
The Macquarie Regional Library is free to join and has a variety of programs, events and books to suit children of all ages.
