Prize Winners from School Library Month Celebration Announced

The GRAND prizewinner of the Grolier "Lands and Peoples" Encyclopedia was drawn at random from all schools who entered the bookmark contest or exhibited at the state house. The lucky winner is the Wixon Middle School in Dennis. Maureen Anderson sent a reply to the email congratulating her on winning, "This is the best email I have ever received!"

The prizewinners have all been notified of their good fortune, and you may all view the listing of winners on the School Library Celebration page at mslma.org/schoollibrarymonth/05/celebration05.html. Congratulations!

These prizes have been donated by a very special group of vendors who are terrific supporters of Massachusetts's school libraries.

These prizes are "bonus" for the lucky recipients, because the real prize that everyone receives is the positive PR (also known as SHOUTing) for your library program.
