For several years, the “Fillmore Friends of the Library” have done so much for our community providing several programs, especially for our youth. This past Saturday, Mayor Patti Walker presented certificates and a check to each individual for their entries in the Poem Contest at their general meeting.

Each winner was called upon to read their poems as they received their awards. The Fillmore Friends of the Library had a difficult time selecting the winners this year but enjoyed reading every entry and the poem contest is growing larger every year.

We would also like to take this opportunity to remind parents that the annual summer reading program will begin the first week of June so stop by the library to get more details. This years Poem Contest winners are:
1st Place: Sereth Malagone and Naythan Martinez, 2nd Place: Elizabeth Manzano, 3rd Place: Rachael Pace, Honorable Mention: Christopher Medrano.

All students are from Fillmore Middle School and a big thank you to Mrs. Fitzgerald for submitting the poems for the contest.
