Ask a Librarian awards YouTube contest winners

The Director's Chair

On Feb. 23, Palm Beach County Library Director John Callahan and Ask a Librarian officials awarded prizes to the winners of The Director's Chair, a contest in which Florida high school students created commercials to promote Ask a Librarian. Although the contest was statewide, all three winners came from the School District of Palm Beach County.
First-place winner Joshua Stadlan is a sophomore from Weinbaum Yeshiva High School in Boca Raton. Casandra Brescacin, a senior from Seminole Ridge High School in Loxahatchee, won second place in the contest, and Elyse Lautenschlager, a senior from Park Vista High School in Lake Worth, won third prize.
"Ask a Librarian is an amazing service, and it was a great tool to use for my huge English research paper," said Stadlan, whose computer-animated video of President Obama using Ask a Librarian earned the most votes. "I've told quite a few friends about the service."
A panel of judges narrowed all the entries down to five finalists, and the public determined the three winners by voting online.
