Debs do indeed love librarians, and we know that times are tough. Many libraries hare having their budgets cut meaning fewer staff, fewer books, and less fun stuff. We can't come work for you (unless your library is in Hawaii and you are willing to foot the bill for about 50 plane tickets -- then we will come work for you!). We can, however, give you books and fun stuff! We have put together a bag of fun and love for you and your patrons!
Here's the bag:
And here's what's inside:
An ARC of:
* Fortune's Folly by Deva Fagan -- autographed!
* Silver Phoenix by Cindy Pon
* Secrets of Truth & Beauty by Megan Frazer -- autographed!
* Lipstick Apology by Jennifer Jabaley
The Actual In-Print Book of:
* Models Don't Eat Chocolate Cookies by Erin Dionne, with postcards!
* Shadowed Summer by Saundra Mitchell, with bookmarks!
In addition to Saundra's bookmarks, we have some from:
* Neesha Meminger, author of Shine, Coconut Moon
* Cheryl Renee Herbsman, author of Breathing
Who is eligible?
Librarians and library workers who work with children -- school, public, development centers, wherever. The prize will be sent to you at your library, which must be in the United States or Canada. We do of course love foreign librarians, too, but the cost of postage for such a package is scary.
Our hope is that you will read the books, maybe add them to your collection, or give them and the ARCs away as prizes. Spread the love!
Are you a librarian-in-training? Yes, you, too can enter. And once you get that fabulous job, bring the books with you! Plus all your classmates will be so jealous of the super cool tote.
