Congratulations Kaylee!
The Doniphan-Trumbull Library has been participating in the Great Scavenger Hunt Contest, sponsored by author Kay Cassidy, since February. To participate, students (also known as hunters) look at the list of participating books that we have in our collection and choose one that looks interesting. Once the student reads the book, they complete the associated trivia challenge and turns it in to Ms. Sears to check. Students must get at least eight of the ten answers correct in order to be entered into the monthly contest. Every month, Kay Cassidy picks one lucky hunter as the winner. The winning hunter receives a $50 gift card to the bookstore of their choice and the host library receives a prize tote filled with books to add to their own library collection.
The winning hunter for March of 2010 was Kaylee, who took home the $50 certificate. Just to let you know, Kaylee had a total of thirteen entries. Wow, what a reader! In addition to her prize, the Doniphan-Trumbull library received the following titles:
Lovestruck Summer by Melissa Walker
Revenge of the Homecoming Queen by Stephanie Hale
Haven by Beverly Patt
Operation YES by Sara Lewis Holmes
Goddess Boot Camp by Tera Lynn Childs
We would like to thank the authors of those particular titles for donating their books and author, Kay Cassidy for providing libraries with such a cool program. In this time of economic hardship, it is wonderful to know that there are such giving, incredible people out there. It should also be noted that libraries are allowed to win more than once, so if there are students out there that still want to participate, they should start reading and scavenging today! Please go to the Great Scavenger Hunt website or see Ms. Sears for a list of titles.
Congratulations Kaylee. Great Job!
