The Rochester Public Library is hosting a social media video contest. RPL wants the community to share stories about what they love about the public library.

The contest is called "Lend Us Your Story." People are encouraged to submit 90 second videos about their favorite parts of the library, their experiences there, and what inspires them. Videos will be posted online and voted on by the public.

There are some cool prizes for the top three videos. The grand prize is a Kindle Fire and the second and third place winners will receive Kindle E-Readers.

"Libraries are one institution where you can come in and access free information regardless of your walk of life. It is really one of the great places that promotes democracy in America. Libraries will continue to be cornerstones of every community," said Ove Ovemyer, Assistant Reference Librarian for the Rochester Public Library.

The deadline to enter in April 30. The winners will be announced May 24.
