In the body of the email, give the following information:
-Your name
-The name and address of the library/school where you work
-Again, which set you’re entering to win

Giveaway deadline: Enter by November 30th, so we can draw the winner while you’re still recovering from Thanksgiving dinner! 🙂

    Thank you, thank you. Now destroy this post so my competition goes away.

    Too selfish? Well then may the best school win. And we all know what school that is.
