    Write & Illustrate Your Own Book Contest

    For 14 years The Lebanon Community Library has hosted our annual Write and Illustrate Your Own Book Contest for 1st - 5th grade students. This year we are joining forces with the Lebanon Valley Council on the Arts and offering two contests to offer all ages an opportunity to share their talents.

    For the Write & Illustrate Your Own Book Contest one winner and one honorable mention were picked from each grade level.In addition to prizes, the first place winner in each category will have the opportunity to read or have read their story at the award ceremony during the festival. For the Story Writing Contest prizes will be awarded in the following categories: grades 6-7, grades 8-9, grades 10-12, amateur adult, and professional adult. All winners from both contests will have their books professionally bound and those titles will become part of the library's collection.
