Book Cover Contest

Entries were of a high standard in the Book Cover competition held by the Christchurch New Zealand Library and Book Week Committee, said one of the judges, Miss J. McLaughlin (Teachers’ College Library. The response was pleasing and entries were particularly good in the Standard 4 to Standard 6 section, she said. However, it was felt that some children overlooked the fact that the book cover i should fit the book concerned jand include jacket copy and i detail of publisher, she said. The winning entries will be on display during the school I holidays at the children’s ■ section of the Public Library. I Winners of the competition ; were:—
