READ-for-FOOD BOOK REVIEW CONTEST!

Want a free gift card to Panera, Starbucks, Jamba Juice, or Coldstone? Read a book!

Step 1: Check out any book from the JP Catholic Library. Sign it out in the Library Checkout Log.

Step 2: Read the book.

Step 3: Go to the Library Blog – jpcatholiclibrary.blogspot.com.

Step 4: Click on the link for the BOOK REVIEW FORM. Fill out the short form with your name, contact info, book title/author/call number, and a 150-word book review with your thoughts on the book you read.

(150? Is that a lot? No, it’s LESS than number of words in this blog post!)

Step 5: Return the book to the Library Return Box within two weeks, and mark your return date in the Checkout Log. (Make sure you bring back your books on time and sign them in, so other people can read them too!)

That’s it! Super easy!

Book reviews will be posted to the Library Blog, and all reviews will be entered into a raffle to win gift cards to Panera, Starbucks, Jamba Juice, and Coldstone.
