Local kids in grades 1-8 are invited to take part in the Young Authors & Illustrators Competition through Metro Parent Magazine! The Grand Prize includes $250 for college and more! Here at CPL, we see many talented and creative kids, so, while you're on break, write or revise your very own story and submit it to Metro Parent Magazine. Details and entry form available here.

If you need help crafting your own story, be sure to stop by the library and grab a copy of one of our great books about writing!

• So You Wanna Be a Writer? How to write, get published and maybe even make it big!
• You Can Write a Story or Narrative
• To Be a Writer: a guide for young people who want to write and publish
• How to write stories
• Writing Magic: creating stories that fly
