Friends of Solana Beach library announces winners of 4th Annual Bookmark Contest

Friends of the Solana Beach Library is pleased to announce the winners of the annual Bookmark Contest, an effort that combines artistry and a love for reading. This year’s contest drew a great response from Earl Warren Students.

“It's an honor to partner with The Friends of the Solana Beach Library in their annual bookmark contest. Through this contest, art students at Earl Warren Middle School are given an opportunity to pair creativity and self-expression with the importance of reading, and then share their art with library patrons and their community in the form of bookmarks," stated Earl Warren Middle School Art Explorations teacher Tami Austin.

“The bookmark contest brings art and love of reading together,” said Jennifer Eveleth, President, Friends of Solana Beach Library. “We love offering a showcase for our Earl Warren students and encourage their continued love for reading.”
