School Library Journal Joins Picture Literacy’s Summer Sweepstakes as Co-Sponsor
August 31, 2010; Milwaukie, OR

School Library Journal is now co-sponsoring Picture Literacy’s End of Summer Sweepstakes, in which $1500 in graphic novels for emerging and reluctant readers in grades K-6 will be given away to four winners. Ads for the sweepstakes will appear on the School Library Journal website and in their electronic newsletters. A full-page ad will appear in the September 2010 issue of the School Library Journal magazine.

“It’s very exciting to have School Library Journal join us in promoting this sweepstakes,” said Andrew McIntire, Director of Marketing at Picture Literacy. “Graphic novels are a powerful literacy tool, and we love helping schools out during these rough times by giving away these books. The first national launch of our catalog will go out at the end of September to hundreds of classrooms in 48 states. We couldn’t be more pleased to be sharing these great kids comics with so many young readers.”

The sweepstakes is open to teachers, school librarians and school administrators. Their schools could win one of four prize packages, including the grand prize of $1000 in free books. For more details and to enter, visit www.slj.com/pictureliteracy. Every signup is an entry, so schools may enter multiple times. Entrants will also be signed up for a free Picture Literacy account and will receive our catalog at the end of September. The sweepstakes ends September 24th. Other prizes include a $300 package and two $100 packages. The total value of free books being given to schools is $1500. Packages include award-winning children’s graphic novels and titles designed to motivate reluctant readers.
