Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month at Your Library

From Hillsborough County Government Online:

The Hillsborough County Public Library Cooperative is celebrating Hispanic Heritage with three popular annual contests.

Through Sept. 30: students in kindergarten – 5th grades may enter the Our Hispanic Heritage Bookmark Contest; students in grades 6-12 may enter the Our Hispanic Heritage Poster Contest; and adults age 18 and older may enter the Our Hispanic Heritage Poetry Contest.  Winners will be announced at an awards ceremony at the Town ‘N Country Regional Library, 7606 Paula Dr. on Nov. 13 at 2 p.m. 

Participants may read contest rules and pick up entry forms at any Hillsborough County Public Library, or access them at hcplc.org/hcplc/events/hh/.  Entries must be turned in at any Hillsborough County Public Library no later than Sept. 30.

All three contests are cosponsored by the Ada T. Payne Friends of the Urban Libraries, Friends of the New Tampa Regional Library, Friends of the Town ‘N Country Regional Library, Friends of the SouthShore Regional Library, CENTRO Tampa, and Pollo Tropical.
