Friendly Staff Summer Reading Bingo Competition

For the eight weeks that we promoted summer reading for the kids, young adults, adults, and staff the staff participated in a friendly competition.  Each week they recieved a Bingo sheet that consisted of squares filled with everyday library duties and some not so everyday library duties.  Each day the staff member had to cross off a Bingo square that they completed. 

At the end of each week they turned their sheet into me and depending on how many squares they crossed of determined how many times their name got put into the weekly drawing.  All staff members but the librarians participated in this competition.  Each week three names were drawn.  At the end of the eight weeks one grand prize winner was chosen.

Danielle was the grand prize winner.  Congrats Danielle!  She won a $10 gift card to Panera Bread and a bucket full of nail goodies.  I promise if a boy would of won it would have been a different prize!

These were the total number of entries each staff member received for the grand prize drawing:

Danielle-50
Ella-80
Ellen-45
Gary-50
Joyce-40
Kris-45
Sarah-30
Serena-45
Stephanie-40
Ty-45

Thank you all for playing.  I hope everyone enjoyed themselves and everyone did a great job this summer.  Thank you all for your hard work!

If you could have dinner with any person living or dead who would it be?

"My grandma since she passed when I was a baby and after her Ryan Gosling!"
