Last week there was a total of 197 children and adult crafters!  Thanksgiving placemats were colored, fun scarecrows were put together, colorful wind socks were colored and assembled, and standup turkey decorations were made.

Stop by the Atkinson Public Library to see a photo show on display by Derek Dohrman, local photographer.

There were 260 patrons that registered for prizes all through Friends of the Library week, and then drawings were held. Winners were: Preschool – Jerzie Kaup; Kindergarten – Bryson Thomassen; 1st – Felipe Suarez; 2nd – Matthew Ogden; 3rd – Flora Morey; 4th – Jacoby Slaymaker; 5th – Gage Mitchell; 6th – Ryan Havranek; 7th – Ashley Schaaf; 8th – Sadie Keogh; and Adult – Betty Ziska.

With 112 crafters in all, there were a variety of fall and Halloween crafts made at the library – scarecrows, B-O-O hangings, woven pumpkins, and happy fall bears and hedgehogs!

The National Friends of the Library Bookmark Contest was held, with a total of 235 entries from the Atkinson schools in grades K-6! The Friends would like to thank everyone who participated in the contest – stop by and check out your local talent!
