[LM_NET] Last chance to register for the WrestleMania Reading Challenge

[Stephanie Kuenn <skuenn@ALA.ORG>]

Greetings!

Registration for the 2009-2010 WrestleMania Reading Challenge will close
July 31 (that's Friday). Teens and tweens at your library could win a
trip to WrestleMania XXVI in Phoenix, and you could win $2,000 for your
library! Just complete Teen Read Week registration at
www.ala.org/teenread and say "yes" to the WrestleMania Reading Challenge
by Friday.

The WrestleMania Reading Challenge, sponsored by YALSA and World
Wrestling Entertainment, encourages teens and tweens in grades 5-12 to
read one item a week for 10 weeks, starting in January. Teens and tweens
can win prizes and incentives from WWE, including the chance to compete
in the national WrestleMania Reading Challenge championships to win
ringside tickets to WrestleMania XXVI in Phoenix in March. The
sponsoring library of each finalist wins $2,000. 

On the YALSA blog, you can listen to Jill Whitson, media coordinator at
Greene Central High School in Snow Hill, N.C., talk about her
experiences with the Challenge -- one of Jill's students was a finalist
last year and won a trip to WrestleMania XXV and her library won $2,000.
