Over 100 children entered the Monterey Public Library's Martin's Big Words  art and writing contest.  All the entries showed thoughtful effort and inspiration from Martin Luther King Jr. and the award-winning book by Doreen Rappaport.  It was a tough job to choose just a few to receive special recognition.  However, now the job is done. In no particular order, the first prize winners are:

  Elijah Gomes, 7                             Catherine Buonaguidi, 7

All of the entrants received a small prize.  These special winners' work is published on the Library's Kids Page and on the Youth Services bulletin board.  In addition they may come in and pick up a prize at the Library Help Desk.  Congratulations to all the winners!
