More than 500 Lafayette students participated in the annual contest. The Awards Ceremony took place at the Lafayette Library April 29. Each winner received gift certificates from The Storyteller Bookstore and The Friends Corner Book Shop. In addition, Anthony Ruiz of FastFrame in Lafayette will frame each student's bookmark free of charge. Mr. Ruiz also frames all of the winners' artwork for display in the library. He has generously supported the Bookmark Contest for over 25 years.
