The Brown County Library is thrilled to announce the winners and runners up of our inaugural bookmark design contest! Entries were collected in April to coincide with National Library Month. A panel of library staff had a tough time sorting through the over 275 entries. In the end it was just too difficult to select just one winner from the Kindergarten through Grade 5 age group, so we split that group into two! Each of the four age groups has one winner and five runners up. Bookmarks featuring the four winning designs will be printed and available in all Brown County Library locations during our 2026 Summer Reading Program.
Winners will be presented at our Summer Reading Program Kickoff at the Central Library at 10:30 am on Saturday, June 6 (see here for more information).
