Is Ada High School freshman Thalia Detty the model for the book cover “Viola in Reel Life”?

Thalia submitted her photo entry for the state-wide Ohio Educational Library Media Association (OELMA) and was selected statewide winner of the solo category. It was one of three contest categories.

The contest was part of the OELMA’s celebration of National School Library Month in April.

"The challenge was to include people somehow in with a book cover," said Chanda Smith, Ada school media center director.

The article is long and covers many more points than I will right now, so it may be worthwhile to check it out. Click here to read it.
