Hi Everybody
I can think of many programs in our local libraries that should be considered for the award outlined below in nominating their successful programs to promote and excite reading.  It looks like "BIG" money to launch or support a new program, even though distribution is split.  
My suggestion is to read through the nomination form and the website at <http://www.pattersonpageturner.org/> to either nominate your program or one that has impressed you this year.  
Below is some additional information:
"The James Patterson PageTurner Awards are given to individuals and groups who "get people of all ages excited about books and reading, and successfully transform non-readers into lifelong page-turners." This year, a total of $500,000 in cash prizes will be distributed among 44 winners. 
Here's the nomination form...deadline is October 16. Nominate your library...or yourself!"  (Source:  http://lisnews.org/article.pl?sid=06/09/01/1236216)
Go for it!
