Teens! There are Two Writing Contests in October
Teens, limber up your fingers and brains. The Naperville Public Library is holding 2 writing contests in October – Frightful Nights and WWE Wrestlemania Reading Challenge. For Frightful Nights, all you have to do is complete the sentence “It was a dark and stormy night…” in less than fifty words for a chance to win a cool prize. Feel free to be funny, scary, silly or downright spooky, just as long as you’re creative and original. For the WWE Challenge, you need to write a letter to your favorite WWE Superstars telling them why they should read your favorite books! Both contests are held from Oct. 1 to 31. For more information visit the TeenSpace on the Library’s website.
