The Way it Works

William Kowalski

Congratulations to Carlsbad Library learner, Nyla H., for having her letter selected as a Runner-up for the Writer to Writer Beginning Writer category!

The Writer to Writer Challenge is an annual competition for adult learners in public library literacy programs. Learners write a letter to an author of a book or magazine telling them how their lives were influenced by what they read.

The competition is sponsored by the Southern California Library Literacy Network (SCLLN).

The winners and runners-up were recognized at an awards ceremony on February 25 during a brunch sponsored by SCLLN and the California State Library. Winners in each category had an opportunity to read their letters during the ceremony, and all winners and runners-up received a copy of a book that has been published with their letters.

All learners who submitted a letter received a certificate for their participation. There were 85 entries from 11 libraries throughout Southern California.  READ MORE @
