Press Release Fun: I Don’t Usually Mention Giveaways, But This One’s Special

Y’all like free books and I like debut authors.  Two great tastes that taste great together then.  Take note fellow librarians:

The YA and MG authors of the 2009 Debutantes are giving away a 46-book set of their debut novels to ONE lucky library, anywhere in the world! In light of recent budget cuts to libraries in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and other communities, these debut authors would like to contribute their library to your library, offering up brand new novels for your patrons at no cost.

The collection includes #1 New York Times bestseller WINGS, by Aprilynne Pike, critically-acclaimed novels THE FOREST OF HANDS AND TEETH by Carrie Ryan, HATE LIST by Jennifer Brown, FLASH BURNOUT by L.K. Madigan, TWENTY BOY SUMMER by Sarah Ockler and THE SEASON by SARAH MACLEAN, Junior Library Guild Selections CANDOR by Pam Bachorz and SHADOWED SUMMER by Saundra Mitchell, and a host of other amazing novels that debuted in 2009. 

This contest is open to librarians only- public or school- anywhere in the world. (All it takes to enter is one picture taken in your library!) To find out more about the 2009 Debut Library, how to enter, eligibility and full rules, please visit http://community.livejournal.com/debut2009/807752.html .
