FIRST BOOK MONTGOMERY COUNTY BOOKMARK CONTEST

First Book Montgomery County, a local non-profit that has distributed tens-of-thousands of new books to economically-disadvantaged children since 2001, has launched its 5th Annual bookmark contest. Local children are invited to design a bookmark that communicates their love of reading; one will be chosen as the official First Book 2014 bookmark, to be distributed at many events throughout the year.

Winners will be selected in the following age groups: Pre-K, Grades 1-3, Grades 4-6, and Grades 7-8. The Grand Prize winner will receive a $25 gift card to put that love of reading to work at Barnes and Noble.

The official entry form can be found at First Book's website. Entries must be postmarked by Saturday, May 14, 2014. If you have any questions, email First Book.

One of First Book's local sponsors is the Bethesda Big Train baseball club.
