Prize Drawing Details
Most of the information is already up, but here's the practical details of how the prize draws for Word Out! will work, now that we've "officially" started (although with over 300 comments received to date, it feels like we're already going!):
- Every Monday from next week (the 13th) we'll draw four gift cards from everyone who's joined to date
- Every Monday from next week (the 13th) we'll draw four gift cards from everyone who's contributed to the blog in the previous week
- So for next week, comments made from Monday July 6th - Sunday July 12th will be eligible for the contributions drawing
- Winners will be contacted by either the email address they signed up with, or the email address given in their blog comments
- Contact will come from an email address ending in @torontopubliclibrary.ca
- The only information you'll be asked for will be your full name (to identify you when you go to pick up your prize) and the library branch you'd like your prize sent to
Good luck to all! For more details please see the prizes page

I love the Harry Potter series!!! I can't wait for the Harry Potter and the Half- Blood Prince movie. You should read if you haven't. Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys aren't bad either:)

I never knew the TPL HAD a Teen summer reading club, but im glad i found it :)
is there any suggestions for books for people like me who like to stay away from the Gossip Girl stuff and read something a little closer to home?

I think I understand now... There weren't so many people commenting in the previous weeks because the draws are only happening now...right?

Styna: I haven't read it myself, but "Pieces of Me" by Charlotte Gingras (it's on the booklist, will be a featured book next week) is Canadian and has been highly praised for a realistic depiction of teenage life. Have a look at the Book Previews for the last couple of weeks--they go into a little more detail about all the selected books, and there's probably something you'd like. A lot of people have also been making great suggestions about what they've read and enjoyed in the What We Read Last Week threads.
