Creative Social Media Contests

We are going to be holding literary contests for our social media patrons. Once a month we will have a topic for your creative talents to illustrate. Prizes will be awarded to the most original and imaginative entries.

Our First Contest!

Calling all literary personnel (bookgroups)! We are looking for Bluestockings. Hint: Check out the Friends Bulletin Board in the library or the Friends and Friends’ Bookstore blog. Submit a photo of your favorite Bluestocking(s) with details of what you’re reading. The best entry will win a book of your choice from our prize bookshelf. Entries must be submitted by June 9, 2010.

Set your thinking caps for July’s contest, which will be favorite beach reads. The bookstore will have a display of beach reads if you need any.

If you have any ideas for future contests, feel free to email us: friendsbookstorerochmn@gmail.com
