National Library Week contest

National Library Week is coming up next week! We're celebrating libraries and what they offer to all people, regardless of age, class, gender, national origin, race, religion, or sexual orientation.  I invite teens to write a blog post (around 100-150 words) about what libraries mean to you. You can use English, Spanish, emoji, code  or any combination of your choosing. Posts, whether anonymous or credited, will be placed on the Library Teen Webpage and entered in a drawing to win a $10 Starbucks gift card! To be eligible for the drawing, please submit posts by April 15th to Youth Librarian Carrie Wilson, Carrie.Wilson@Tularecountylibrary.org.
