Reading Challenge Prize Drawing

Mar 01, 2013
Post by Evan , OWLS staff

We had our first prize drawing today for the two $25 gift cards. There were 260 eligible reviews from over 65 readers from 24 different Libraries! This morning staff at the Outagamie Waupaca Library System used a computer program to randomly select two of the reviews. And the winners are:

Lemkenl

New London Public Library

for the book I'm Down by Mishna Wolff

binky24

Birnamwood Branch Library

for the book A Tale of Two Vikings

Our next drawing will be on May 1st for two $50 gift cards. If we can get ourselves organized, we will try to announce the next winners live online.

I've really enjoyed watching as the posts come in. It has been great seeing the wide variety of books reviewed and the many insightful comments. Good luck and good reading!
