Insanity @ My Library: A Photo Contest

Do you have a picture that perfectly illustrates the insanity that takes place at a library? Maybe it's the book drop that was destroyed by a firecracker, the librarian who never matches his socks, or the library that is completely falling apart and has structural damage to prove it! If so, send them to me and you will automatically be entered in a drawing for a free signed copy of Quiet, Please: Dispatches from a Public Librarian.

One copy a week will be given away starting Friday March 28, 2008, ending on Friday, May 2, 2008.

To enter simply send a JPEG photo to scottdouglas@scottdouglas.org. By submitting your picture, you are affirming that you hold all copyrights to the photo (or have permission by the copyright holder to submit on their behalf). Please make sure and include your full name, address, email, and the name of your favorite library (only your first name and favorite library will be published…the other information is just to help me make sure a book gets to the right place if you win).

By submitting your picture you are also giving me permission to publish your picture (even if you are not a winner) on my blog (speakquietly.blogspot.com).

Additional commits can be emailed to me directly at scottdouglas@scottdouglas.org.

Submit as early!

Contest News: An Update

I promised to have full contest details up in Feb for the "Quiet, Please" book give away....well it's almost March and I have nothing official, but I have something pretty darn close. Thanks to all those email their ideas about what the contest should be.

Unofficially speaking, the contest will be a photo contest of sorts. Participates will be asked to submit photos that best illustrate the insanity of the library. One winner a week will be announce from the end of March to the end of April.

Once everything is official in March, you'll be able to send off your photos. Until then start digging around for photos!

Contest Announcement Soon

I am putting the finishing touches on a "Quiet, Please" book give away contest...and by putting the finishing touches on the contest I mean I haven't even started and am open for suggestions about what kind of contest I should have. So if you have one, then send them to me by commenting below or just a simple email to scottdouglas@scottdouglas.org.

Either way the contest will begin in March with the first book will be given away at the end of March with another book given away in the forthcoming weeks to follow.
