I Love Libraries Contest!

Since February is the month of love, I wanted to share some love (and books) with one lucky library (or maybe two or three).

From now until February 28, your library can enter to win a grand prize of TWENTY middle-grade and young adult books! Titles include When You Reach Me, Runaway, A Curse as Dark as Gold, and a copy of The Red Umbrella (once it’s released on May 11).

How to Enter:
Send me a comment through my website telling me your name, the name of your library and what you love about being a librarian! That’s it! Simple, right?

Bonus:
All entrants will be eligible to receive free bookmarks of The Red Umbrella (just include your address and I’ll send them to you right away).
Also, if more than fifty libraries participate in the contest, then I’ll add a second prize of TEN middle-grade and young adult books (including a copy of The Red Umbrella).
Finally, if you crazy librarians really spread the word and we reach 100 entries, I’ll give away a third prize of FIVE more books (yes, this prize package will also include a copy of The Red Umbrella).

Eligibility:
This contest is open to all media specialists/librarians and books must go to a U.S. school library or public library.

Good luck!
