​​​Dear Teachers, Principals, Librarians, and other Colleagues:

We are very pleased to inform you that the New Mexico State Library will continue the New Mexico Letters About Literature competition this school year.  We have created a site for the state competition which should tell you everything you want to know about the contest - https://lettersaboutliterature.nmculture.org/.

<https://lettersaboutliterature.nmculture.org/>

We cordially invite your students to participate in this reading and writing contest designed to promote reading and thoughtful writing by encouraging young readers to read a book and then write a letter to the author explaining how his or her work shaped their perspective on the world or themselves. This is the eighth year the New Mexico State Library<http://www.nmstatelibrary.org/> has sponsored the competition.

Please see the attached entry form and the permission form for ages 13 and under as of November 1, 2020.

Please read the official rules and terms of participation, including how to submit entries carefully before your students begin reading and writing.  THERE ARE MANY CHANGES!

All entries must be submitted by January 11, 2021.
