Readers' Blog. They can be dropped at the desk with your entries or
emailed to Eileen Pearce. Drawings will be held every Tuesday beginning January 17. All you need to
do to be eligible to win is to READ what you like and to submit an entry form for every book that you complete.
Please submit only books completed during the program, January 3 through March 5. Congratulations to the winners of our reading-themed baskets: Snowbound (1/17/2012) Robin Craig Chills & Thrills (1/24/2012) Mary Krut Couch Potatoes (1/31/2012) Phyllis Peacock Winter Romance(2/7/2012) Cheryl Costello-Pelkey Spring Cleaning (2/14/2012) Linda Gatting-Trimble Spring Renewal (2/21/2012) Lynne Kerick Gardening (2/28/2012) Cheryl Rampelli Grand Prize Cozy Throw (3/6/2012) Linda Trimble Grand Prize USA Afghan (3/6/2012) Lynne Kerick The grand prizes will be, like last year's, handmade warm and cozy afghans, but this year we have TWO! One of this year's afghans (pictured left above) features blocks representing each of the 50 states plus maps of the whole USA, all knitted into individual blocks with a beautiful knitted backing. This gorgeous afghan, created especially for our winter reading program by the Windsor Locks Knitting group, is large enough and warm enough to get you through any arctic blasts that might come your way. The photo does not do it justice, so stop in and see the incredible detail on this work of art! The other afghan (pictured above right) is a throw with 12 different patchwork blocks in blue, green, brown, and rose, and would be just perfect for cuddling up with a good book on a cool day. Both are on display at the Circulation Desk throughout the program. All entries that have not previously been chosen for a 2012 prize will be included in the drawing for both afghans, which will be held on March 6. Each book you read and submit is another chance to win! The last date for turning in entries will be March 5. To submit your entry online, fill out the form below and click the SUBMIT button.

Thanks to all who participated in this year's adult winter reading program! We have 2 EXTRA
lucky readers this year! In all, 61 participants submitted 324 titles, and 7 prize baskets and 2 afghans were
awarded by random drawing. Although no single submission was eligible for more than one prize, everyone who entered had
a chance to win one of the two grand prize afghans. This year's big winners were Lynne Kerick and Linda Trimble. Congratulations
to both of them! Keep reading, and we will see you all next January for our 3rd annual adult winter reading program. Our
summer program will be coming up before you know it, too!
