Boston and Oxford, (May 22, 2012) – In celebration of the forthcoming launch of the new Literati Public, a Credo Reference (www.credoreference.com) solution tailored to fit the needs of Public Libraries and facilitate the telling of their story, the company announced that their latest contest is now open and called "Amazing Stories."
The contest is aimed at eliciting the amazing and true (or mostly true) stories that have happened at libraries across the country. Credo Reference promises to not only give librarians a stage to tell their stories, but to "re-enact those we think have the greatest potential to amuse an audience." The best stories will be selected as finalists and the winner of first prize will receive four iPads for their library.
"Libraries and librarians make great things happen every day, in terms of educational leadership," said Mike Sweet, Credo Reference CEO. "We suspect that every librarian has an ‘I can't believe this happened' story to share, and so we've provided the stage and hopefully the incentive. If you don't win the iPads for your library at least you made the crowd of your colleagues laugh."
In addition to the prizes to the first and second place winners, select finalists may have their story adapted into an UNSHELVED comic strip (www.unshelved.com).
The contest will culminate with the announcement of the winners at the 2012 ALA Annual Conference in Anaheim, CA, June 22-25. Entries will be accepted at Credo Reference booth #600 until 12:00 Saturday, June 23.
