Online Book Review Contest
For Grades 1-12, kids and teens in South Fayette can now share book reviews with friends and classmates on the South Fayette Township Library's new Online Book Review website. Read and review any book of your choice and then post the review on the website for sharing.
Each month through June, the best review in each grade category (Grades 1-3, 4-6, 7-8, and 9-12) will be published in the Bridgeville Area News. Reviews should be 100-150 words in length and should contain the title, author, and a brief description of the book.
Winners will be chosen by library staff on the basis of writing style and interest. All South Fayette residents Grades 1-12 (or equivalent) are eligible. Good Luck & Have Fun!
