39th Annual Young Author & Illustrator Winners

Congratulations to all of the winners of the 2024 Young Author & Illustrator Competition (listed below). Last names and teachers are omitted from this posting to protect the identities of the children.

All placing stories are kept at the library until after recognitions and hardbound orders are made. Families will be notified when they are able to pick up the original story from their home library. Non-placing stories are returned to classrooms or mailed home. All first-place winning stories are hardbound and kept in the library’s permanent collection for everyone to check out and enjoy.
