We are looking for the living stories of students who pass through the doors of our seven libraries. From the student who is discovering our resources for the first time at a session in the library to the student reserving a group study room to film her multimedia presentation, the stories vary just as much as those that surround us on our shelves and in our databases. In honor of National Library Week (NLW), April 10-16, we’d like to hear these stories from students in an essay contest. The theme we’d like students to focus on in their essay this year for NLW is Create Your Own Story @ Your Library. The essays will be judged on grammar and style, but, most importantly, on the stories they tell. How did your library experience impact your success in a class or generally as a student? (Hint: be specific about library services, resources, and interactions with library staff that have impacted your success). The essays must be typed and submitted electronically by
Thursday, March 31 at 11:59pm. Please submit your essay to us at
madisoncollegelibrary@gmail.com as a pdf, .doc, or .docx. Only one entry per student is allowed and submitters must be active students at Madison College. The word limit is 500 words. You must include the following information along with your entry in order to be eligible for a prize: · Name · Student ID · Phone number · Student email address · Primary Campus Essays will be judged by a panel of Madison College representatives who will announce the winners on Monday, April 11. Please be aware that all or parts of your entry may be used for promotional purposes. Good luck!
