Book Giveaway #2

March 11, 2009

Today I’m giving away another copy of A Sane Woman’s Guide to Raising a Large Family. You can enter in one of two ways.

1– If you’ve already mentioned the book on your blog, simply make a comment below to enter.

2– The second way to enter is to contact your library, either by phone or internet, and request that they purchase a copy of the book. (ISBN # 1423604512.) Most libraries make it easy to request a book. My library’s online request form was easy to locate and takes only a couple minutes to fill out. Once you’ve requested the book, leave a comment below and you’re entered. If you’d like, you can include the name of the library from which you requested the book. It would be fun to see how many different libraries we can list.

If the book is requested and actually purchased by several libraries, it will be added to the central library database, making it visible to librarians across the US. That means a lot more people would be able to read the book.

I will close this contest and announce a winner on Saturday evening. Good luck!
