After a year's absence due to the pandemic, the Lafayette Library Bookmark Contest returned this year. Students at all Lafayette elementary and middle schools were given an opportunity to draw a bookmark for the contest. The winning bookmarks were chosen from among the hundreds received. An awards ceremony was held on April 27 at the library. Winners received gift certificates to Bel & Bunna's Book Shop and the Friend's Corner Book Shop, complimentary framing of their bookmark by Anthony's Custom Picture Framers, and eight printed bookmarks for their family and friends. The winning bookmarks are available at the local elementary and middle schools, Lafayette Library, and the Friend's Corner Book shop.
