We are thrilled to announce the winners of the Patten Free Libraries 9th Annual Writing Contest. This year there were more than 50 entries in every category, and we welcomed creative non-fiction submissions for the first time ever. Judges, who included Patten Free Library Staff, the PFL Teen Library Council, and community members, were excited about the caliber of pieces submitted this year.
