Teen Tech Week: Geek Out @ Your Library

Teens (grades 5-12), write a comment on this blog OR on the Library's Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/NCLibrary)and tell us what you do to geek out. Writing on our wall or commenting on this blog will enter you into a drawing for a thumb drive.

How do you geek out? Math? Band? Zombies? Call of Duty?
Goth knitting?

You have until MARCH 10, 2012 to write on our Facebook page and let us know. We will do a random drawing for a winner on March 13th, and we will notify the winner on March 13th, via Facebook. If the winner is from this blog, we will notify you on this blog.

So, remember, this contest is for TEENS is grades 5-12.
Write on our Facebook page before MIDNIGHT on March 10th and let us know what you do to geek out. (I, myself, am obsessed with IPad developments and rumors....and apps....and unusual colors of nail polish.)

Next week, you will have the chance to win an mp3 player: WATCH THIS SPACE!
We are running Teen Tech Week next week, too!
Why stop?
