Read Your Way to L.A.

This summer the Garland County Library is participating in the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) and World Wrestling Entertainment Reading Jam to give our patrons aged 10-18 the chance to win a paid trip to Los Angeles along with two tickets to WWE's SummerSlam on August 23rd.

Beginning Wednesday, June 24th, a very limited amount of unique numbered posters will be available at the library. Simply ram-jam the front desk, atomic leg-drop, clothesline the clerk and snap into two books (or audiobooks). After the two books are checked out, you will receive the poster (one per patron). On July 17th, visit www.wwekids.com to find out if your number was chosen. If you would like further details, the website is up and running or ask/call us here at the library. Fliers are available at our front desk, as well.

Two poster holders will be chosen to win the grand prize - the trip to L.A. and the tickets to SummerSlam. If you are chosen, bring the winning poster to the library to let us know you won. Ten first place winners will recieve a copy of the WWE Encyclopedia. Each library that gives out a poster to a grand prize winner will get $1,000 to use to purchase tween/teen materials for their collection.

If you enjoy winning stuff, a great way to heighten your chances would be to combine the YALSA/WWE contest and the Summer Reading Program. After you read the two books you checked out, write a brief 50-word summary and turn it in for a chance at a $15 gift card. Summer Reading Program forms are available at the library.

REEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAD!!!
