I've been forgetting about the giftcard winners!!!

I told everyone how I'd be choosing names to win giftcards if they logged pages, but I've been forgetting to tell you who has won.

Josiah Johnson
Rachael Cooper
Jacquelyn Klocko
Margaret Gerthoffer

All of these summer reading participants have won a giftcard of their choice, either Target, Barnes and Noble, or Dick's Sporting Goods.

Congratulations all!

I'll try to be more up to date in the future.

Tie Dye has been rescheduled

Since it rained the last time we were supposed to do Tie Dye (and we did Undye Your Clothes instead. Very fun!), it is now set for Wed. Aug 5 at 2:30 pm. Weather permitting of course! I put it on my Google calendar and if you want to reigster please go to http://www.shalerlibrary.org and click on "Coming up @ the Library" to register online or give us a call at 412-486-0211.

"You've won a prize!"

An "Anonymous" asked below about a prize message s/he got on his/her account. To be honest, I'm not sure why *everyone* is getting a message saying they won a prize. That should not be the case, but it really doesn't matter because everyone is invited to come and get one if they like. We certainly have enough.

I have an "Express Yourself" temporary tattoo, a coupon for one free attraction at Wildwood Highlands and a $10 off coupon for Dick's Sporting Goods for everyone who wants one. Just come up to the desk in the Children's Dept. to pick it up.
