Win 50,000 New Books for Nebraska!
50,000 new books will be awarded to the state with the most votes at What Book Got You Hooked? This giveaway is being sponsored by First Book to celebrate the distribution of its 50 millionth book this summer. You may vote once every 24 hours through July 31. Nebraska ranks 38th right now. Let’s go to What Book Got You Hooked and vote–and tell them what book got you hooked!
First Book is a nonprofit organization with a mission to give children from low-income families the opportunity to read and own their first new books.
Thanks to Brenda and Becky for the tip.

Thanks for sharing – it looks like Nebraska has surged all the way up to second place. Behold – the power of the blog.
The only thing I regret is that libraries did not implement something like this – it is slickly done and I wish that we could “steal” their technology. This would be a great platform to have people donate books that they know and love and create a real link between readers and their community’s library in my opinion.
