10 Years of the Kids Bookmark Contest at Emma Clark Library

Setauket, NY – February 7, 2025 –

Emma Clark Library’s annual Kids Bookmark Contest has reached a big milestone – elementary-aged children living in the Three Village Central School District have been designing original bookmarks for library patrons for ten years of this beloved contest.

The community enthusiasm for this contest has been amazing with over 500 entries in the past decade. Winners receive a trophy and the incredible honor of having their bookmarks professionally printed and available for the community throughout the year. This year, in celebration of the tenth anniversary of the contest, there will be an additional special prize.

To pick up an Official Entry Form and Bookmark Template, kids may stop by the Children’s Reference Desk or download the form at emmaclark.org/bookmarkcontest.  There is a limit of 1 entry per child. The entry deadline is March 31, 2025.  Winners will be chosen in three categories (K – 2, 3^rd & 4^th, and 5^th & 6^th grades) and announced on May 1, 2025. All contestants’ entries will be displayed in the Children’s Department for visitors to view during the month of May.

Last year’s winners were Kelly Y. (Minnesauke Elementary) in the grades K – 2 category; Catherine Y. (Minnesauke Elementary) in the grades 3 & 4 category; and Mason O. (Mount Elementary) in the grades 5 & 6 category.
