Anyone aged one to 99 (and older) can take part in the Holiday Colouring Contest by picking up a colouring page at the Ashcroft Library, colouring it any way you like, and submitting it to the branch no later than 2 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 29.
Prizes ($20 Chapters gift cards) will be awarded in three age categories: 1 to 4; 5 to 11; and 12 to 99+. There is a limit of one entry per person. School classes are also encouraged to submit entries, with a $50 Chapters gift card awarded to one classroom.
All the entries will be displayed at the library’s third annual Merry and Bright Display, which begins on Friday, Dec. 6 and runs through Dec. 31 during regular library hours. Be sure to check it out to help you get into the Christmas spirit!
