January 1-20, 2021

To celebrate the life and teachings of Dr. King, the Homewood Public Library is asking our local 6th-12th graders to write a poem/story or create a piece of art inspired by his work. Two entries per teen. Writings and photographs of the artwork can be submitted digitally via the library’s website. Selected stories/artwork will be announced at the end of January. Questions? Please contact Judith Wright at judith.wright@homewoodpubliclibrary.org.

UPDATED:

Thank you to everyone who submitted entries. Our judges were blown away by your creativity and compassion.

The selected entries can be viewed here.
