The Libraries in Clackamas County (LINCC) are
thrilled to announce that Happy Valley resident Leala Tran, 12,
is the winner of their fourth annual Teen Summer Reading Artwork
Contest. Leala’s piece exemplified the theme of Universe of
Stories.
In addition to winning a $100 cash gift card, Tran’s
original artwork will be featured in LINCC's Teen Summer Reading
Program materials such as posters, forms, fliers and social media
posts.
"We had an amazing number of entries this
year, and the quality was fantastic!" said Anna Bruce, Youth
Services Librarian at the Happy Valley Library, and one of this
year’s judges. "It was an incredible challenge to
select a single winner, but we are so happy with Leala’s
piece. We appreciate all the wonderful artwork submitted
from teens throughout the county."
There were two honorable mentions selected:
Abigail Canutt, of Canby, and Rebecca Rutherford of West Linn,
who will each receive a $25 cash gift card.
This summer, LINCC will again offer its summer
reading programs for children and teens of all ages at all 13
libraries located within the county (most also offer programs for
adults). Details on the program will be announced in April. Last
year, more than 19,500 readers signed up for summer programs.
Teenagers and younger children received prizes for achieving
their reading goals, including free books, Portland Trail Blazers
tickets, Oregon State Fair tickets, and Oaks Amusement Park
coupons.
