Wylam Library Assistant Wins JCLPA Photo Challenge

Wylam Library Assistant Romelia Pattillo won the JCLPA Photo Challenge with this picture of a book special to her.  


Romelia Pattillo, a Library Assistant III at Wylam Branch Library, is the winner of The Jefferson County Public Library Association Photo Challenge.

The JCPLA Photo challenge was issued to all library workers countywide, not just JCPLA members, on April 20 to celebrate 2020 National Library Week.

Participants were asked to post a photo with their favorite book, talk about what the book meant to them, and draw a new cover of the book.

Pattillo, who has been working at BPL nearly a year, posted a photo in front of Pratt City Branch Library, holding a copy of the book Preparing Your Teens for College, by Alex Chediak.

Her photo caption was, “This book means a lot to me right about now. My 2020 HFCRCHS (Holy Family Cristo Rey High School) senior is still making plans for college.”

Pattillo won the grand prize - free admission to the 2020 Christmas luncheon and payment of her yearly JCPLA dues.

The JCPLA Photo Challenge is a spin-off of the Birmingham Public Library Photo Challenge, which was held throughout the month of April.
