The Los Cerritos Community News recently featured students Ahyana and Amanah from California Virtual Academies (CAVA) for their participation in the Los Angeles County Library Bookmark Contest, a program that draws roughly 20,000 student submissions each year.
The article spotlights the Cerritos sisters, a sixth grader and a ninth grader, who have taken part in the annual contest since kindergarten. The Los Angeles County Library Bookmark Contest invites students across the county to design original bookmarks inspired by books, with selected designs reproduced and shared throughout local libraries. For Ahyana and Amanah, the contest has remained a consistent creative outlet and a meaningful way to stay connected to literacy.
The story highlights how a local library program continues to encourage creativity and a love of reading while following two students who have grown alongside it year after year.
