Win $500 worth of books!




Do you like to read books to your siblings? Would you like to FAMOUS?! Well, here's your chance! Gail Borden Public Library in Elgin and other libraries are sponsoring Storytubes, a competition where kids in first through sixth grade tape themselves booktalking their favorite book (2 minute limit, please) and upload it to youtube.com. Voting will begin each week in May. The winner of this contest will win $500 in books and your local library (that's us, folks!) will receive $1000 in books! Go to http://www.storytubes.com/ for more information. We look forward to seeing your tapes! By the way, if you do not have access to the necessary camera, come to the library and we will tape you and upload it for you! Wear costumes, if you like, that relate to your book. Now, hurry, let's get going!
