For the first time, a pun contest was held at the Reedley Library, on March 28. It was called the “Once U-Pun a Time” Pun- slinger’s Contest. The competition motto was “You Quack Me Up!”
LEFT: Vicky Andersen holds the Champi-Pun Award she won at the contest. Terrance McArthur, who’s the adult program- ming librarian for the Fresno County Public Library system, said punning contests are held in cities such as San Francisco and Austin, Tex. In fact, the annual O. Henry Museum Pun-Off World Championships are held in Austin. McArthur said he and the Fresno County library system wanted to start these contests in the area.
In addition to Reedley, a contest was held at the Sunnyside branch in Fresno. Plans originally called for a contest at the Sanger branch, but that library is closed for renovations. A competition may be held once that branch reopens, which is scheduled in June.
