And the winners are...

You hit us with your best snapshots, and now we're back to congratulate the winners of our first ever kids' photography contest!

And the winners are...

• People: "Grammy's Moth" taken by Noah Scanlon, Age 6
• Place: "Color of Winter" taken by Megan St. John, Age 12
• Artistic: "Lightning Bolt" taken by Marley Lugo, Age 7

Congrats to our young shutterbugs who will receive Target gift cards for winning.

And thanks to everyone who participated in our inaugural photo contest. We loved seeing and sharing your beautiful photos!

By the way, our summer reading kickoff party is this Saturday at the Read House, which is next door to the our Main Branch. COSI (the Center of Science and Industry) will bring its traveling exhibits to the party and show kids how much fun science can be.

And, of course, both our party and summer reading program is free and open to everyone.

Everyone who participates in summer reading at Mentor Library (that includes teens and adults) has a chance to win prizes—from gift cards at Toys ‘R’ Us to Lake County Captains tickets to Nook eReaders. The more someone reads, the better chance they have of winning.
