pot-pourri Granted Worthy Of SupportThe Friends of the Ottawa Public Library Association (FOPLA) has just been given an Ottawa Citizen Literacy Foundation grant, which is awarded by the Community Foundation of Ottawa, to support its much-loved book pot-pourri. pot-pourri is an annual anthology of the winning bilingual children’s poetry and short story submissions from the Ottawa Public Library’s Awesome Authors Youth Writing Contest. Though book reviews, sales and participation in the Awesome Authors contest, pot-pourri has been gaining recognition throughout the local community as not only a fantastic way to support local youth, local authors and the Ottawa Public Library, but a great read too. This significant grant adds a new level affirmation to the project, as an endeavor worth investing in. The 2010 Awesome Author’s Youth Writing Contest is already underway.
