Kent District Library’s Tyrone Township branch, in conjunction with Kent City Elementary, Algoma Christian School, and the Kent City DDA, are proud to announce the winners of this year’s Summer Reading Art Contest. Area students were encouraged to submit art based on the theme of “Reading and Libraries.” While there were a number of great entries, two students were awarded the top honors.
This year’s winning entries were created by Hunter Pitts, a fifth-grader at Algoma Christian School, and Kylie Brown, a third-grader at Kent City Elementary.
“This was a really great, creative opportunity for Kent City Elementary students,” said Sara Goodrich, Kent City Elementary art teacher.
“We think that Hunter and Kylie have done a great job conveying the theme of reading and libraries and have done so in a very creative and colorful way. They are definitely two very talented artists,” added Eric DeHaan, Tyrone Township Branch Manager.
The winning art is currently displayed on banners in front of the Tyrone Township branch library, located at 43 S. Main Street, Kent City.
Both avid readers, Kylie enjoys the American Girl Doll and Rainbow Magic series, and Hunter is currently enjoying the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Congratulations to Kylie and Hunter!
