National Library Week: More Prizes!

We have more prizes to announce today, including the fully assembled Book Nook and Chamber Check grand prize winners. But first, how many tiny books were in the jar?

Our closest guess was only off by one book! There are 318 tiny books in the jar and Kathie Keller is the winner of $10 in Chamber Checks with her guess of 317.

The winner of the Book Nook is Laurie Welu and the Book Journal bundle goes to Joseph Albrecht.

Our grand prize winner of $50 in Chamber Checks is Jeffrey Speer! We drew two runners up and Tyler Wipf won $10 and Linda Johnson won $5.

We’ll announce the winners from our online photo challenge later tonight, as well as a few youth prizes. Thank you to the Pipestone Area Friends of the Library for making all of these prizes possible!

National Library Week: Book Mishaps

Book mishaps, they happen. Even to librarians. Whether it’s a glass of water that gets knocked over, a dog that suddenly can’t resist what your reading, or an over-exuberant toddler turning the pages, share your photos and stories of book mishaps on our Facebook or by tagging @meinderscommunitylibrary on Instagram.

We’ve got mini golf set up in the library from 10am-2pm today and there’s still time to enter into the Chamber Check grand prize drawing!
