SCLLN received a large response—79 entries—and the quality of the letters was amazing! We are so proud of all of the learners who wrote letters. We are also grateful to the coordinators and learner judging panels at Huntington Beach Public Library, Newport Beach Central Public Library, San Diego Public Library and Carlsbad City Library Learning Center for donating their time to judge the letters.
