There are many activities taking place at area libraries for this special week which runs from April 17 through 23. One of the projects undertaken at the libraries was a Library Fantasy. Libraries are filled with fantastic adventures. Each time you open a book, you can travel to a different world; visit another place and time, and meet new, exciting characters. The children of the library were invited to create a banner illustrating their idea of “A Library Fantasy’. Various evenings were given over to banner instruction and creativity. The materials were supplied by the library. During National Library Week, the Back Mountain Memorial Library will, in conjunction with the other Luzerne County libraries, be displaying the banners created by area children. The banners have been judged for content and creativity and th{" first place winners in the different age categories will be hung in the Court House in Wilkes-Barre, in the rotunda, during the week. Winners from the Back Mountain Library are as follows: Grade 3-5, 1st, Allison Roskos; 2nd, Natalie Felten and 3rd, a tie, Becky Barna and Susan Benedetti. Grade Kindergarten-2, 1st, Michael Rosencrans; 2nd, Tara Slocum and 3rd Lindsay Kravits. A Trivia Contest, in which entrants will guess the total number of books in the combined collection of the Luzerne County Library System, will be held during Library Week, also. Prizes will be awarded to the winners of the contest. Entries for the contest are available at the library. Contest is open to anyone 18 years of age or older. Story Hour children at the Back Mountain Memorial Library were excited when a special visitor arrived in a long, shiny red fire engine. Fire Chief Robert Besecker drove the fire engine on to the library property and had with him, Brett Slocum, Assistant Fire Chief; ag Fireman Patrick Hozempa. These men explained and demonstrated the workings of the engine. Squealing with delight, the children ran to safety when the Chief released a powerful spray of water. Stories about fire safety and fire fighters completed the hour.
