Not too late to enter 'Reading in a Winter Wonderland' contest at library
The first prizes in T.B. Scott Free Library's Adult Winter Read-In have been awarded, but there's still plenty of time to be a winner.
The Winter Read In, now in its 12th year, offers adults (age 18 or older) an opportunity to win prizes for reading. Over $500 in prizes donated by area businesses and the Friends of T.B. Scott Library will be awarded to entrants.
Prize winners in the Jan. 19 drawing were Alvina Hornischer, Sharon White, Jessica Gruhlke, Ann Hofmann, Mardell Simon, and Peggy Bauman.
Entering is easy. First, read or listen to five books any way you like - in print, on your ebook reader, on CD or cassette, etc., either fiction or nonfiction.
Pick up an entry form at the library. Write the five book titles on the form, then drop it into a Read In box at the library. You can enter up to 50 times per contest.
Classic titles in the library labeled "Core Collection" or "Historical Collection" count double - just write the title twice on the entry form.
There will be regular prize drawings on Feb. 2, Feb. 16, and March 1. Each reader may win once in the regular drawings. Winners will be notified by phone.
In addition, all entries are eligible for a March 8 grand prize basket with prizes from each Winter Read In sponsor: Hardee's Restaurant, Hugo's Pizza, Culver's Restaurant, Ye Olde Sweet Shoppe, Cost Cutters, and Friends of T.B. Scott Library (Merrill Area Chamber of Commerce gift certificates).
