The Friends of the Lafayette Library and Learning Center's Bookmark contest was a resounding success with about 500 entries. Twelve winning students from Lafayette schools were honored at an Award Ceremony earlier this spring for their art work.

Three outstanding artists, Kaitlyn Yasumura and Isabella and Sofia Bartos, who have won in the past, are honored in the Hall of Fame this year.

The winning bookmarks are framed, compliments of Anthony Ruiz of FASTFRAME of Lafayette, and are on display in the Lafayette Library and in the Friends Corner Book Shop. The business again offered to frame the winning bookmarks for the participants free of charge.

The winners each received gift certificates equal to $10 from Friends Corner Book Shop and a $25 gift certificate to Orinda Books.
