The Juneau Public Libraries celebrated the Bookmark Contest in November, a favorite with Juneau kids. This is sponsored each year by the Friends of the Juneau Public Libraries.
A panel of volunteer judges reviewed 1,593 entries and chose one winner and two honorable mentions for each grade level, preschool through eighth grade.
