4 Kids | Your Chance to Meet Somebody Famous

That's right. In honor of Children's Book Week (May 13-19), the Library is hosting a special writing contest for students in 4th, 5th and 6th grades. We will select one winner from each grade, and a famous children's author will visit the winner (and his/her classmates) during Children's Book Week. 

I've got your attention now, don't I?

Oh, did I mention that each winner also receives a Kindle? Yep.

All you have to do is finish the story started by one of our famous children's authors. Your story should be no longer than 250 words, including the part started by the author.

Get creative. Let your imagination go wild. You can do this!!

You've got about 3 weeks. If you're going to mail in your story, it must be postmarked no later than May 1, 2013. If you email your story, the deadline is May 6, 2013.
