Poetry Contest Top Ten Finalists!

Thank you to everyone who entered the 2011 WPL Poetry Contest!  We had many wonderful entries and the competition was tough.  It was a difficult decision for the judges, but we are ready to announce the top ten finalists. The writers of all ten will receive a copy of a book by Bruce Lansky to be autographed during his library visit on March 2nd. One of these ten will also be chosen by YOU as the People's Choice Favorite.
