The Massachusetts Library System is pleased to announce the winners of the Climate Preparedness Week 2020 Drawing Contest. We had many wonderful entries and thank all the applicants who contributed drawings to the contest. It’s our pleasure to announce the winners:
- Harini Gada, age 8
- Rayhan Riaz, age 10

This year’s drawing contest theme was “Helping Each Other, Helping Our World.” Kids and teens of all ages were invited to share their drawings of ways in which we can help one another and our world be healthy and happy. Winners from each age group received a year-long family membership to the Trustees – Massachusetts’ largest preservation and conservation nonprofit with more than 100 reservations. The prizes were funded by the Blue Marble Librarians and Communities Responding to Extreme Weather (CREW) Held each year from Sept 24-30th and organized by Communities Responding to Extreme Weather, Climate Preparedness Week is dedicated to learning, service, and actions that better prepare our communities for extreme weather events.
