They will be honored at a Manhattan Beach City Council Meeting ceremony on December 18th.

The Los Angeles County Public Library is sponsoring its annual Children's Bookmark Contest. This year's theme is Picture the Adventure -- Read! Submissions are due to the public library by October 29, 2011. You can download a contest entry form below, pick one up at the Manhattan Beach public library, or download one from the public library's website.

Please read the rules carefully before submitting your entries. You can take it directly to the Manhattan Beach library or you can drop your entry off at the Robinson Library. I will make sure it gets to Ms. Messner, the Children's Librarian at the public library.
