October 1-October 17
Ages: 8-12 and 13-18
Do you love Halloween? Try writing your own scary story for our Spooky Short Story Contest! Write a story with a beginning, middle, and end, no longer than three pages. Get creative! There are two age groups: ages 8-12 and ages 13-18 (still in high school). Turn in your stories to the YS desk during open hours between Oct. 1st and Oct. 17th. If you handwrite your story, please attach a typed copy as well. All stories will be judged by library staff on creativeness and spookiness. First, second, and third place winners will be selected for each age group. There will be an awards ceremony on Thursday, Oct. 30th at 4:15PM. The winners will read their stories aloud for all and be presented with a writer’s trophy.
