Friends of the Woodland Public Library announce the 

"Save Our Library" Poster Contest Winners

The Friends of the Woodland Public Library would like to announce the winners of their "Save Our Library" Poster contest.  We received over 250 creative posters and the judges had a difficult time narrowing it down to the top 20 in each age category. Over 200 votes were cast by the community to pick the final winners and every poster received several votes.

The winners in the 6-9 years age category are: 1st place is Alissandra Olague, 9 years old from C.E. Dingle School , Mrs. Amador's class; 2nd place is Monika Gomez, 6 years old from C.E. Dingle School , Mrs. Saltero's Class; and 3rd place is America Rodriguez, 7 years old from C.E. Dingle School , Mrs. Saltero's class. 

The winners in the10-12 years age category are: 1st place is Katie Sakona, 11 years old from Zamora School, Mrs. Welty's class; 2nd place is Skylar Allen, 11 years old from Zamora School, Mrs. Welty's class; and in a tie for 3rd place are Cassidy Schreiner, 11 years old, Woodland Girl Scout Troop #437 and Kayla Ashby, 12 years old, from Zamora School, Mrs. Welty's class.

The Friends of the Library would like to thank the teachers and students for their participation and support of the library.  We'd also like to thank the hard working judges Al Eby, Jim Smith, John Roina, Carla Bohon, Kay Hodges, Meg Stallard and Al Smith.

 

The first place winning poster in each category will be framed, courtesy of the Blue Wing Gallery, and displayed at the library, along with the other posters.  Most are displayed in the children's reading area, with the top 40 and prize winning posters along the south hallway.

 

The winners and their parents are invited to celebrate at the library with an ice cream social in early June, where they will be presented with their cash prizes.  Photos of the winning posters will be posted on the Friends' website at www.woodlandfol,.org.
