The National Library Week Photo Contest Winner was entered by Shirley Ries. The picture was of her daughter, Gabrielle. Her photo generated $32.99 of our grand total of $111.67. The ballot and registration money will go towards children’s programming. Thanks to those who registered their “Get Caught Reading” photos and everybody who voted with pennies to dollars.
