How Sweet it Is!

Julia Shaheen, Main Library
Ron Krumlauf, Main Library
Rebecca Baldwin , Plain Community Branch
Linda Miday, Main Library
Janey Davis, East Canton Branch

We would also like to thank the following library employees who helped type the entries that appear in this booklet, as well as the rest of the youth services staff at the Main library who “held down the fort.”
Nicole Yoder, Main Library
Linda Miday, Main Library
Amy Baltzy, Main Library
Debbie Russo, Main Library
Special Thanks To Ron Krumlauf who has produced the great decorations for our poetry events over the
years. This year was no exception! To the Stark County District Library’s Public Information Department Employees. Without the efforts of Linda Dahl, Karen Allen and Dominic Caruso we would not have the wonderful artwork for promotional posters and this booklet. To the library employees who took time to work on preliminary judging of this year’s
entries. By choosing your favorite entries it made it much less cumbersome for the final judges to decide the winners.
Final Judging was done by a committee of community volunteers. We would like to thank them for taking time out of their busy days, for reading the many poems and deciding the winners. Mike DeComo
