Des Plaines library hosting short story contest for kids

Young Des Plaines Public Library patrons are invited to participate in the 4th annual Wicked Good Writing Contest.

Kindergartners through eighth-graders can enter by writing two-sentence stories. They don’t have to be scary.

Entries will be accepted online and at the youth services desk through Oct. 30. Winners will be announced on Halloween.
