Toledo Library Announces Writing Contest
The Toledo Lucas County
Public Library is proud to announce the 2020 Ruth Blank
Venner and Mary Jane Blank McCormick Writing Contest.
Students (grades K-12) are invited and encouraged to write
about someone who makes a difference in their life, the
community or the world.
What makes this person extra special? What makes them a
superhero? Big and small actions make a difference—what does
their superhero do? Students can enter this annual writing
contest hosted by the Toledo Lucas County Public Library now
through April 4.

Participants will be entered
by grade in one of the following categories: grades K-2,

* 3rd Place = $50
* Honorable Mentions (6
winners) = $25
