I love reading books.
ReplyDeleteTerrific! We'd really like to know what you are reading(it helps us give more ideas to kids looking for a good book.) Why don't you give us a review of a book you REALLY love. Or a review of a book you think should have been good but wasn't! Click on the "What are you Reading?" button and leave your review there. Or here is fine too. Thanks for writing us!
ReplyDeleteWhen is the weekly raffle? And how do we know if he won or not? Please reply ASAP. Also, can you please list more choices of the grand prize to choose from, because my sister won't make it on time to the library so I have to cover for her? Okay, thank you so much. :)
ReplyDeleteThe weekly raffles happen at each branch. You may only enter at the branch you signed up at --one entry per week. The raffle is just for kids signed up and reading in the program.
ReplyDeleteThe complete grand prize choices (currently available) are listed above. See the section that starts "Read 8 hours to complete..." We will run out of some of these prizes, so it's a first come basis.
Your sister must be present to receive her prizes and to enter the raffle. Please check with your branch to find out the last day kids can pick up prizes.
Thanks for your great questions and hope this answers them!
I was disapointed when we went to the library today to select my son's grand prize and tickets to the Zeum and a few other places were gone. In the future, it might be helpful to word make it a little more clear that prizes (or at least tickets) are on a first come first serve basis. We appreciate this program, I just felt really bad telling my son he couldn't get a ticket to the museum he wanted.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment,, we are sorry for the disappointment.
