Writes of Springs winners announced

The Lafayette Public Library recognized winners of the Writes of Spring writing contest last week: high school winners on May 5 at the Main Library and elementary through middle school winners on May 7 at the South Regional Library. The high school ceremony also featured a talk by young adult author Alys Arden. Winners received a certificate and a printed anthology of the winning pieces. The Writes of Spring is an annual writing contest that encourages students in grades K-12 from Acadiana to submit original works of fiction, nonfiction and poetry in English and French. For more information, call the Lafayette Public Library at 261-5787. A full list of winners is available at LafayettePublicLibrary.org.
