Well the adults won the winter reading contest by reading 40 more books than the kids. So the kids were bummin for a bit until they learned that more adults had voted for the lizard than anything else. So we were still getting the library lizard!!!! YAY!!!

Now,we need a name so there is a contest going on now to name our new lizard! Submit your name today!! If we choose your idea you will win a $25 gift card to Wal-mart!!! You can enter more than one name in the contest.

Stop in to the library for the entry forms or email the Library Manager at mforward@midyork.org with your idea for the lizard's name and your name and phone number.

Good luck!!!! :-)
