Scheduled Guest Readers

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Essay Writing Contest

The Library is working with local elementary schools and their teachers, providing a prompt that will encourage students to reflect on what Martin Luther King Jr. Day means to them. Library staff will judge the entries by age group, and if tentative plans materialize, the winners will have a chance to read their essays on a local radio station. Check with your child's teacher for more details.
