Library Week at Limestone Township Library District

 

Library Week at Limestone Township Library District

 

National Library Week began on Sunday, April 6 and runs through Saturday, April 12. This week is an annual celebration highlighting the valuable role libraries, librarians, and library workers play in transforming lives and strengthening our communities. This year’s theme is Drawn to the Library!

With that in mind, Limestone Township Library District is celebrating by holding a Bookmark Design Contest. The five winning bookmarks will be used during our summer reading program in our summer reading packets and on the front desk.

Community members are being asked to come up with a design that incorporates our theme of Summer Reading: Where Wild Wonders Await. It could feature animals or a nature scene. It could feature up close images or a far-off scene. The goal is to create something fun that reflects the idea of Where Wild Wonders Await.

Blank bookmarks will be available at the Front Desk for you to begin your creation. If you have any questions, please call the library at 815-939-1696.
