A Concert Ticket Raffle? At the Library???

It didn't happen at a radio station. It happened at THE LIBRARY!!!

Late last week, the clouds parted and concert tickets fell into the hands of some lucky library teens. Or, more likely, we received an anonymous donation of tickets to the American Idol and Jonas Brothers concerts. Talk about generous! The tickets were raffled off to one lucky teen from each library location, but, because there wasn't time to send the tickets (the concerts are this week!), each teen came to Main library to claim their prize (that's why all of the photos have the same background). Check out the photos of some of the teens with their tickets:



We puffy heart the anonymous donor. THANK YOU for this wonderful surprise and your contribution to Columbus area teens.

If you saw the Jonas Brothers or American Idols this week (ESPECIALLY if you were one of the lucky library winners), comment on this post and give us a review of the concert. How was it?

Grand Prize Winners of Teen Summer Reading Club

Remember how we told you that completing milestone 2 of the Summer Reading Club would enter you in a drawing to win a mini-laptop?

Well.....
On August 8 we randomly drew names (using a fancy pants computer program) and had the pleasure of calling up the two lucky (and thrilled!) winners. Calling grand prize Summer Reading Club winners is definitely one of the most fun parts of working at the library.

We even snapped some photos of the winners:

Alison

Christopher

Congrats Alison & Christopher! We hope your are enjoying your shiny new mini-laptops. I wonder who the big winners will be next summer???
