Rep. Dovilla Announces “Legislator for a Day” Reading Program

Winners
COLUMBUS—State Representative Dovilla (R-Berea) has announced the winners of his “Legislator for a
Day” reading program.

Children in grades one through six participated in the program by visiting the Berea, North Royalton,
Olmsted Falls or Strongsville branches of the Cuyahoga County Public Library, picking up a bookmark and
recording five books that they read on the back of the bookmark. The completed bookmark served as an
entry form for selection as a “Legislator for a Day.”
 
“I am pleased to have seen such broad participation by the students of the 18th House District,” said
Dovilla.  “I would like to acknowledge the encouragement of the students’ parents as well as the children’s
librarians who promoted this worthwhile program to open children’s minds to the importance of reading.”
 
The winners are:
John Thompson – North Royalton Public Library
Nathan and Eli Washburn – Berea Public Library
Rachel and Colleen George – Strongsville Public Library
 
The “Legislator for a Day” reading program concludes a successful partnership with local libraries to
encourage school young people to read and learn more about Ohio government and the rich history of the
state of Ohio.  Winners will be receiving a VIP tour of the Ohio Statehouse, which will include participating
in a mock legislative hearing and lunch with State Representative Mike Dovilla.
 
For more information, please contact Representative Dovilla’s office at (614) 466-4895 or
