It would be good to know who won grand prize and the first and second prizes and how many books they read. I read quite a few and I got runner up so I'm curious to know how many the others read. Also the other librarians were saying they were participating as well. Most places don't let employees participate so I was surprised by that fact.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry for your confusion.
ReplyDeleteOur employees were NOT participating in the same drawing but were in a parallel program. They were not eligible for any of the prizes, they did receive small token prizes for encouragement and appreciation for their supporting our program.
The drawings were not based on who read the most books. Rather, each book read was an entry into the random drawing which would increased the chance of your name being drawn.
Altogether there were 599 books read. We have not publicized who won the prizes for privacy concerns however we have obtained permission from Sandra Rich to let people know that she was the grand prize winner of a Kindle. Check our next entry for a picture of the happy prize winner!
I am sorry that you misunderstood how this program was being run. We will be clearer in the future. I do hope that you and everyone enjoyed the program and continue to read further.
that is confusing because at the signup both my mother and I were clearly told it was on the number of books you read. Oh well it doesn't matter now. I think that would have been better.
