The Friends of the Milford Library has chosen the recipients of its annual High School Book Awards. Awards are given to a member of the junior class at each of the five high schools in Milford. All the award winners have exhibited outstanding personal character, made a positive impact on their school or community and demonstrated a strong and consistent love of reading.
Recipients were chosen by their teachers. The award recipients are: Rosalia Navarra, The Academy; Joseph Merly, Jonathan Law; Isabella Ribera, Joseph Foran; Megan Campbell, Platt Tech; and Jiline Cole, Lauralton Hall.
Each award winner receives a personally inscribed copy of Only in Milford by DeForest Smith. In addition, the Friends donate a book of the student’s choosing to their school library with a bookplate commemorating the student’s achievement.
A ceremony honoring the students will be held at the Milford Public Library at a date to be determined. For the most up to date information regarding the ceremony and other offerings the library is providing during this time, visit the library website at milfordlibrary.org.
