Emily Doughty-Wood wins with this great image.
The photo contest required entries to capture Salinas, CA. The judges liked how real the workers appear as they look out to the world. Nice shot Emily!
Comic Contest
Comic by Estrella Thoeni
Readerman is the superhero who protects the Salinas Public Library and readers everywhere. This comic contest gave teens the opportunity to create a comic about this local superhero.
Estrella Thoeni won with her hand-drawn entry. She submitted chapter one of what hopefully becomes a graphic novel. This first chapter left the judges wanting more!
