Contests @ the SAM Library

I've been doing some reading (no big surprise there, and I've been doing some thinking about ways to attract even more of you to the Library. There are a lot of you who make regular visits to the Library, and this makes me happy. I like seeing students with an armful of books to read. There are, however, still students walking the hallways of SAM without a book to read. So how do I get those students into the Library to borrow a book?

And then it came to me. Have a contest.

So let it be announced that the first of SAM's Library Contests will be beginning this week. I haven't worked out all the details yet, but if you listen to the announcements in the morning, and read this blog regularly, you will be the first to know.

The contest is going to have something to do with reading through the genres. One of the things I try to encourage in students is the reading of multiple genres. It's fun to read a lot of books in the genrer we favour, but it also fun to ry new genres and maybe, find a real treasure.



So stay tuned for further details.
