This past summer, Tomball Library hosted a teen writing contest in conjunction with the Barbara Bush Branch Library. Teens were invited to enter in four categories: poetry and short story for younger and older teens. Judges were thrilled at the number of well-crafted and imaginative entries in all categories.
