Summer’s over and school has begun, but Richland Library is still celebrating.
This summer more than 50 talented teens shared submissions for our SLC Teen Bookmark Contest. In August, our Richland Library Main Teen Advisory Board members narrowed down the field to a top 6. After review from Richland Library’s graphic designers, we’re excited to announce our Grand Prize and Runner-Up winners:
Grand Prize Winner: Nora Croft | Dutchfork Middle School
Runner-Up Winner: Emma Taylor Scogin | A. C. Flora High School
Next month, our community will be able to pick up a bookmark created by one of these artists at all 13 Richland Library locations.
We also have one additional Runner-Up Winner this year:
Runner-Up Winner: Amy Speare
Amy’s artwork will appear as part of our 2026 Summer Learning Challenge promotion.
In addition, all of our winners will receive gift cards and a supply of their bookmarks to share with friends and family.
Looking for a chance to make your mark? Stay tuned for these opportunities:
