Win an autographed Tamora Pierce book!!

While I was in New Orleans for an American Library Association conference, I had the opportunity to meet Tamora Pierce and have her sign some books for me. Are you jealous? I thought you might be, so I asked her to sign one for you, too! I have a copy of Alanna: The First Adventure, autographed to "Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh - Teens" that I will give away.

It's not going to be quite that simple, though. Here are the rules:

• You must be between 12 - 18 years old and have a Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh library card
• You must be registered for Teen Summer Reading
• You must answer the three quiz questions correctly

What's that? Quiz questions? Yeah, that's right. Here they are:

• What was the name of Alanna's cat?
• Alanna went to Corus to become a knight. Where did her brother Thom go, and what did he want to become?
• Where does Alanna find her sword?

To enter the contest, just email the correct answers, your name and your library card number to teensmain@carnegielibrary.org by July 31st, 2006. The winner will be randomly selected from everyone who gets all three questions right and meets all the other requirements.

If you want to enter but aren't registered for Teen Summer Reading, that's easy to fix! Just go here: www.carnegielibrary.org/teens/tsr

Good luck!!
