Book Reviews for everyone

Read a good book lately? Or maybe a bad one! Let us know! Email us a short review, and we'll post it, along with your first name -- unless you wish to remain anonymous, of course.

Not sure what to write? Tell us a bit about the book -- without giving away important plot twists or the ending! -- and let us know why you did or didn't like it. If you don't want to write a review but just want to recommend a good title, you can do that too.

Send your reviews to: davidson@palliser.lib.sk.ca

Teen (Summer) Reading Club ~ "I Liked the Book Better"

For the first time ever, Palliser Regional Library is hosting a Summer Reading Club just for Teens. If you're between the ages 13 - 18, then you're eligible to join. There will be lots of great prizes all summer long, including a Nintendo Wii, a digital camera, and an mp3 player!

The official start date is June 25th, 2008 so you can sign up at any time. Go to the Teen SRC Website and click Create New Account. Then fill in the registration form. Select Palliser Regional Library as your Home Library, and then Davidson from the list. Post book reviews to be eligible for prize draws and chat with other teens from across Canada on the moderated discussion board.

Play the Bingo game at the library and enter for more prizes. (You must be registered online at the TeenSRC site to win.) The last day for submitting online reviews and bingo cards for prizes is August 20th, 2008. But please note: the Teen Reading Club website is functional all year round. You can continue to post reviews even after the summer is over. The draw for the grand prize (Nintendo Wii!) will be on August 29th.

For more information about how to enter for prizes, go to the Palliser Regional Library website: www.palliserlibrary.ca/teensrc.htm
