Serving O'Brien & Clay Counties

2 winners named in HPL poetry contest

The Hartley Public Library sponsored a poetry contest, “Write from the Hart,” during the month of April. Two winners – Clare Hibbing (first place) and Josie Hibbing (second place) – were selected in the adult category. There were no submissions in the youth category.

Clare Hibbing received a $35 Amazon gift card for her winning submission. The library staff and board of directors would like to thank those who participated.
