[dropcap]I[/dropcap]t’s once again time for The Friends of the Buda Library Summer Essay Writing
Contest. We want to give our young library patrons an opportunity to flex their writing muscles and show off their imagination and literary skills. The contest is open to all Buda Library card holders between the ages of 8 and 17.
There will be two age divisions: Child: ages 8 - 12 and Youth: ages 13 - 17.
Entrants will submit an essay of 500 words or less. The prompt will not be included in the 500 words. First place winners in both divisions will be awarded $100 by the Friends of the Buda Library and publication in the Hays Free Press.
