This spring, Waterloo Public
Library asked teens to submit
their original works of fiction
(poems & short stories) to our
first ever Teen Writing Contest.
We were blown away by the
response we received, with over
60 entries.
We would like to thank each and
every teen that shared their
work with us; it was no easy task
to pick winners from the
amazing pool of talent.
Congratulations to all of the
winners. We are beyond ecstatic
to be able to share your work in
this publication.
A special thank you to all of the
WPL staff that acted as judges
and dedicated their time to
reading through all of the
submissions.
We would also like to thank our
WPL Teen Events Team for their
continued dedication, brilliant
ideas and programming, led by
our staff coordinator, Mariah
Baldasaro, who oversaw the
running of this contest.
