Hello all:

 

Please forward to appropriate listservs. It's much appreciated!

 

Attention public librarians!

YALSA and World Wrestling Entertainment^®  have joined forces for the 
SummerSlam Reading Jam, a pilot project with two great prizes: your 
library could win $1,000 for teen and tween materials for your library's 
collection and two of your tween and teen library patrons can win a free 
trip for two to WWE's SummerSlam pay-per-view event in Los Angeles.

Here's how it works:

·         *Sign up online!** *The first 500 libraries to *register for 
the pilot project* 
<http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=oMf7rqwQoEKZjLEsS44ukQ_3d_3d> will 
receive mini-posters courtesy the WWE. The deadline to sign up for the 
SummerSlam Reading Jam is June 8 (although registration will close once 
500 libraries have signed up for the pilot project).

·         *Check 'em out!* Each librarian who signs up will receive 25 
WWE mini-posters, which should be distributed to any library patrons 
between the ages of 10 and 18 who take out two books between June 24 and 
July 16. The posters are all numbered. Distribute all your posters by 
July 16.

·         *Win prizes!** *Two lucky poster holders each will receive a 
Grand Prize of a free trip for two to WWE's SummerSlam pay-per-view 
event in Los Angeles, Calif., on August 23, 2009. In addition, they will 
receive $200 in spending money. WWE will also be giving away 10 copies 
of the /WWE Encyclopedia,// /which recently made the New York Times 
Bestseller list. The libraries that distributed the winning posters for 
the two Grand Prizes will each receive a stipend of $1,000 from WWE for 
teen and tween materials for your library's collection.

Full details and the official rules are available online at 
http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/yalsa/summerslam.cfm. (Contest open 
only to those who reside in the 50 U.S. states and the District of 
Columbia.)

And don't forget to sign up for the WrestleMania^®  Reading Challenge, 
which launches during Teen Read Week in October. Registration is 
available through *Teen Read Week registration* 
<http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/yalsa/teenreading/trw/trw2009/registration.cfm> through 
July 31.
