Friends of the Library essay contest
Once again the Friends of the Library will sponsor an essay contest. There will be up to five prizes of $100 each.The essay prompt is based on the College Book, Enrique's Journey (author Sonia Nazario).On the back cover of the book, there is a quote from noted author Isabel Allende “ . . .If you are going to read only one nonfiction book this year, it has to be this one, because you know these young heroes. They live next door.” Do you consider Enrique a “hero”? Why or why not? Cite specific examples from the book to support your point of view.

To enter the contest, you must be registered as a SWC student for spring 2007. The essay must be at least one page but no longer than three pages typed and must be submitted electronically to essaycontest@swccd.edu before 4 p.m. on Thursday, February 22, 2007.
