We’ve been pleased to see that after 9 weeks, your enthusiasm for the contest has not waned. We are up to 647 total reviews! A special congratulations to Cesar Figueroa who has broken the record for most books read in the history of the Summer Reading Contest. Cesar has submitted 107 reviews! With four weeks left, it will be exciting to see how much higher his tally climbs.
Of course we know, it’s not all about quantity. In addition to top reader and top team prizes, we will also be recognizing quality reviews. This year our University Librarian, Brian Schottlaender has been given his own category and will be selecting one of your reviews for a special prize. We already have a number of outstanding candidates, but it’s not too late to submit your most “literary” review.
While you’re in Geisel checking out books for the July 4th Holiday Weekend, be sure to stop by the Graphic Novel Exhibit in the Research Area of the Social Science and Humanities Library. It’s a colorful and informative display of the genre complete with posters and video clips and prizes.
Quick Reminder: Mark your calendar for the Summer Reading Luncheon, scheduled for August 19th and open to all participants who have submitted at least 5 reviews.
