Abraham Lincoln Bookmark Design Contest

President Abraham Lincoln said, “The things I want to know are in books.”
President Lincoln’s birthday is February 12. From February 1 through February 26, 2010
students in Kindergarten through 8th grade can enter a bookmark design contest in three divisions:
K-2nd grade, 3rd - 5th grade and 6th -8th grade. Bookmark contest entries should be about the power of words and books, or the importance of Abraham Lincoln.

The winning bookmark designs will be reproduced and used to help promote the Abraham Lincoln exhibit that will be offered at the Modesto Library during the month of June 2010. The three contest winners will be recognized at a kickoff reception on Thursday, June 3, 2010.

Entry forms are available at the Children’s Desk of the Modesto Library and at all library branches.
