CARRABASSETT VALLEY — In honor of the Carrabassett Valley Public Library’s 10th birthday in February, the CV Library Board of Directors wanted to give back to the community.
Participants either colored a drawing of the CV Library and/or shared some things they liked about the CV Library. Older children wrote a short essay. The children did a fantastic job, library officials said. All participants are winners of one free week of Outdoor Adventure Camp.
“The board, staff and volunteers are extremely grateful to have the opportunity to serve the people in our area in so many different ways,” they said.
Special thanks to Bailey DeBiase for donating the drawing for the library coloring page. A few quotes should bring a smile: “I love taking out books”; “I like that there is a boat tower”; “You can get books for free…my hole family loves the books.”
Top likes were movies, stickers, puzzles, computers, games and toys. “It is the best library ever!” one participant said.
“We think so too and we can’t wait to get back open to the public as soon as possible,” library officials said.
The 10 winners are: Abby Demshar, Anna Demshar, Alta Goodwin, Brandon Hansack, Ruby Hansack, Tyler McGarry, Miles Oickle, Sam Oickle, Alex Swallow and Anna Swallow.
