So sorry for the delay! I was away on vacation when the final drawings were held and forgot to post the information for everyone!

The winner of the B&N Nook Simple Touch Reader was Seraphina Marino!

Participation Winners who took home some great gift cards and gifts were:

Thanks you again to everyone who participated! And we really appreciate all the kind words about how much you enjoyed the program. A special shout out to the Tennis Family for your unwaivering support of the program and your enthusiasm!!!!

I’m going to try to use this blog during the ‘off-season’ to post some great teen reads so keep checking in periodically and commenting! Ms Eileen

The winner of a $20 Colchester Cinema gift card and a $10 iTunes gift card was Katelyn Royce!

So you guys have done a great job this summer with your book reviews, finding the LOST books, and just generally having fun participating and making Ms Patty and I smile…SO…we decided to ‘up’ the Grand Prize this year to….

Yes – a Barnes & Noble NOOK Simple Touch Reader! Not that we don’t want you to keep checking out books, but we understand how exciting technology can be and LOVE that you are reading in any form!

Besides the NOOK, we have a few more prizes to give away to those of you who have participated the most this summer. A few gift cards left, a couple books and things we have to give away.

So if you are still planning to come in to get raffle entries for LOST or Eyeball Benders or plan to post any more reviews, please do it by 12noon on Friday! The drawing will be sometimes Friday afternoon and we will contact you if you are a winner!

I am off on vacation so thanks again for a fun summer and please enjoy your last few weeks of leisure as much as possible but safely!!! Ms Eileen

The winner of last Friday’s drawing was Caina Tennis! Congrats to Caina who won a $25 gift card to Kohl’s. Keep reviewing and playing LOST! There is one more weekly prize this Friday, plus a Grand Prize (you are totally going to want!) and a bunch of “Participation prizes” for those of you who have the most raffle entries!!! (Drawing for the Grand Prize and Participation Prizes will be on Fri, Aug 12)

Congrats to Anya Vrabie who found Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer at the Marlborough Town Clerk’s Office! All books have been found and the 4 winners will get to keep the books and get 5 more raffle entries! Thanks for playing! (Ms Patty and I are bummed b/c we don’t have to come up with any more clues!!!)

So EMMA FILOSA has found our third LOST book, Delirium, which was located at It’s So Ranunculus Florist Shop! Great job Emma!

There is still one more book – Theodore Boone, Kid Lawyer, left out there. HOWEVER – here’s an additional clue: IT IS NOT LOCATED AT A LAW OFFICE! Apparently the two law offices in town have been fielding alot of calls from you guys and are getting annoyed at us! Not your fault, you are just being good detectives! Don’t bother calling around anywhere – the place you need to go requires you to walk in and ASK for the book!

Just an update – 2 of the books from the new challenge have been located – but there are still 2 more to find! Take a look at the page “Books: Lost in Marlborough” for info on how you can find them and where the other two were located.

Don’t forget – 4pm today for tweens and teens – JEWELRY WORKSHOP!

Weekly raffle drawing winners from the last 2 weeks:

• Week2: Mary Kate Cannon ($25 Buckland Mall gift cert)
• Week3: Erin McGuinness ($15 Subway/ $15 iTunes)

Don’t forget on Monday at 4pm we have a fun JEWELRY WORKSHOP!  Join us to make something fabulous with jewelry maker Leanne G. and earn 5 more raffle entries for coming to the program.

Ok all, so the new game has begun – check out the rules, etc on the seperate page titled “Books: LOST in Marlborough.” It may seem pretty tough this week, but we will give a new set of clues for the next 3 Mondays – each getting easier until all 4 books are found. If you have questions, you can ask Ms Patty or Ms Eileen at RML, or shoot me a message here on the blog.

Monday, July 18 at 6pm – come to RML to learn all about this international pasttime! RML friend Kim Danek will be on hand to teach you all you need to know – supplies, how to register online, and how to go about finding these treasures! We will register online as RML and you can use the library laptops to learn mapping techniques.

Then, on Wednesday, July 20 at 6pm, we will meet to find some geocaches together as we hike near Blackledge Falls in Glastonbury. Parents must get you to the hike and can choose to hike with us or wait at the meeting spot. Please register on Monday or call us so we know you are coming!
